Law in a time of International and European crisis

Your international future in law

After successfully completing the European and International Law track, you will earn the title of Master of Laws (LLM). In the Netherlands, you are also entitled to use the Dutch title meester in de rechten (mr.).

You will be trained as a legally skilled professional with an international outlook, someone who looks beyond national law. You will develop in-depth knowledge of European and international law and specialise in areas of your choice, such as international and EU trade law, European integration, climate policy, human rights, the law of war, or EU anti-discrimination law. This prepares you for a career in government, international organisations, NGOs, law firms, commercial companies, or research institutes.
