Whether you're working on international issues in a local context, or on specific issues at international level, this interdisciplinary programme will give you the tools. So think big: some of our students want to improve human rights in their home countries, or reform the refugee system at the Dutch immigration department. Others wish to work for the UN, or become corporate lawyers.
To practise Dutch law: We offer the “voorbereidend civiel effect” package or VCE for those who are fluent in Dutch and want to enter one of the togaberoepen (lawyer, prosecutor and judge). Worth 60 credits, you can take half during your minor and another 6 months of study after your Bachelor’s (or do all 60 credits during an extra year). There are three different routes you can take to obtain your VCE. You’ll then need to obtain your LLM from a Dutch university.
