Labour Law and Employment Relations

The growing importance and number of multinational enterprises as well as an increase in international employability call for a new type of specialist that is able to cope with international and comparative labor issues from a variety of perspectives. This is particularly true for the European Union’s internal market with its free movement possibilities for workers and companies, in which complex legal and policy relations arise. You will combine knowledge of labour law with related areas such as human resource management, the labour market, and social policy, all from international and European perspectives. This combined skills-set is what modern professionals in employment relations need. Rankings: #32 in Law worldwide, #4 in the Netherlands, THE Rankings (2025)
