International and European Law at Radboud University

The Master's programme in International and European Law focuses on the role of the European law on the world stage and is primarily designed for students who wish to develop their understanding and knowledge of European Union law with the intent of pursuing a legal career with a strong international dimension. You have the opportunity to create your own programme that could include competition law, company law, immigration law, external relations law, judicial protection, human rights law, insolvency law and public international law.
 

Radboud University's International and European Law programme was the first of its kind in the Netherlands. Thanks to our long reputation, and extensive network, students in this programme can benefit from connections to over fifty universities all over the world- including the United States, Asia, Australia and Europe.
 

Many of the lecturers in this programme also practice law, which gives you insight to the letter and practice of the law. Law students from Radboud University regularly take part in European Law moot court competitions, which allows them to build their skills and test their theoretical knowledge.
 

The programme has a good international mix of students, so you can learn from your peers, and make connections for the future. You also have the option of going abroad, either for an internship or to follow additional courses as an exchange student at our academic partner institutions.
