Job Opportunities

'If I choose to study law, what are my prospects on the job market?' Students who are deciding on their next step in their education often ask us this question. And rightly so. Because, of course, you want to find a fulfilling, well-paying, and relevant job after graduation.

We also consider this question important. After all, being able to find a relevant job says a lot about the quality of our education. And as a university, we place great value on that quality.

That is why we have conducted extensive research into the professional fields of our graduates (alumni). Of the alumni who graduated three years ago from the Faculty of Law in Groningen, 100% have found a job! A result we are, of course, very proud of. But what kind of jobs are these? In which region? With which employers? We’d like to tell you a bit more about that.
