Which areas of the law come into play when combatting terrorism, holding companies accountable for environmental damage, or protecting employees of online platforms? What should you do if a migrant has the right to asylum but has committed a crime? And what social and moral aspects play a role here?
During the interdisciplinary Law in Society Bachelor’s programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you’ll tackle global societal challenges. In addition to a broad legal perspective, you’ll also approach these issues from a social sciences viewpoint, incorporating insights gained from both quantitative and qualitative research.
In a mixed classroom setting, you’ll work alongside international classmates with diverse backgrounds and opinions. Afterwards, you’ll be ready to work in an international environment – addressing the societal challenges of today and tomorrow.
