Career prospects

The Advanced European Union Law programme is designed to equip its graduates with specialist knowledge and skills for a career with European institutions and national authorities, and with policy-influencing bodies, major law firms, or as in-house lawyers. Given the continuing and growing importance of European law, both at European level and in the national legal orders of the Member States, and the importance of the EU as a trading partner and international actor, the demand for specialised European lawyers continues to grow.
