International and European Law
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. We also offer a dual degree option with the Faculty of Law of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta (Indonesia).
If you would like to know more about the LLB programme in International and European Law and its Technology Law track, you are more than welcome to visit us during one our Open Day events held throughout the year.
The content information of our LLB in International and European Law is available through the left menu bar, the more practical information about the LLB programme can be found below.

Dutch-speaking students
If you are proficient in the Dutch language, please note that the Faculty also offeres a Dutch-taught programme called Internationaal en Europees Recht, which is a track within the Rechtsgeleerdheid programme. Contrary to the LLB in International and European Law, the Dutch-taught track does grant the so-called civiel effect in the Netherlands (so access to the bar or judiciary).
