Key Summary

    About : The LLB in International and European Law equips students with a solid foundation in both international and European legal systems. This program approaches law from a global and regional perspective, emphasizing human rights, trade, and international relations. Students will engage deeply with practical and theoretical aspects, and the course duration is typically three years.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates have a range of potential career paths, including roles as international lawyers, policy advisors, and legal consultants in government organizations, non-profits, and multinational corporations. The degree also lays the groundwork for further academic pursuits, such as a Master’s degree or PhD in law.

All states have laws and their own legal system, and in most countries, you can only study national law at the university level.

Our LLB program in International and European Law is specifically designed for students who wish to pursue a professional career in an international legal environment; it gives students academic training in law without merely taking a national legal system as a starting point by offering students a general understanding of what 'law' is and how it functions.

Why study this program in Groningen?

The focus on European law and public international law is far greater than the focus on national legal contexts. No national law system is being taught as a general rule.

This program is unique in Europe with regard to the content of program. It also holds a compulsory semester of law courses abroad.
