International and European Law

Our LLB programme in International and European Law is specifically designed for students who wish to pursue a professional career in an international legal environment. All states have laws and their own legal system, and in most countries you can only study national law at the university level. Our LLB programme in International and European Law is specifically designed for students who wish to pursue a professional career in an international legal environment; it gives students an academic training in law without merely taking a national legal system as a starting point by offering students a general understanding of what 'law' is and how it functions in different legal contexts. The core aim is to give students an understanding of the content and functioning of international and European law in the context of its development, and also of its application in an international, public, private economic, or policy-making environment. In year 2 you can choose to pursue a specialised track in Technology Law. Please visit Faculty of Law webpages for full information on the programme here. For Dutch-speaking students, please note this programme is different from the 'Internationaal en Europees Recht' track within the Rechtsgeleerdheid programme and does not offer civiel effect in the Netherlands.
