For you?

Ever wonder which laws allow Facebook, Instagram and Twitter access to your private data? Or if tweets from government officials constitute as evidence in international criminal trials? Do you want to make the world a fairer and more equitable place?

Join students and lecturers from 75 different nationalities in the International and European Law degree programme and learn all about international and European law. This degree programme is in English and based in The Hague, the City of Justice and Peace. It cannot get any more international and equitable than this! 

In 4 years you will have all the personal and professional skills to build a successful international legal career. The new bachelor law curriculum is perfectly in line with the current requirements of international law. In the first two years, you lay the foundation for your career and learn through theory and practice how to apply Law in an international environment. In year 3 you will specialise further and deepen your legal skills and knowledge. For example, follow a specific minor, choose modules or study abroad for a semester. In your final year of study, you will do an internship and a final project.
