Our LLM in Global Criminal Law equips you to understand and apply criminal law – both substantive and procedural – in today’s globalised world. The programme addresses pressing forms of criminality, including organised, transnational, and international crime. What makes this programme unique is its two-fold focus:
-
You will gain in-depth knowledge of substantive and procedural criminal law from a comparative and international perspective.
-
You will specialise in specific areas of criminal behaviour such as organised and financial crime, cybercrime, and international crimes.
This is more than a degree – it is a gateway to a meaningful international career in law, policy, or practice.
