Law strikes an excellent balance between theory and practice. Each quarter, IEL course organises two meet-a-lawyer lectures and one topical guest lecture. Students’ll attend inspiring talks by judges of international tribunals and legal officers from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Europol, Eurojust and the ICC. Students’ll learn about decisions they make during cases and how they got to where they are now. To fuel students enthusiasm in year one, there will be an excursions to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Brussels and a prestigious law firm. In year two, students will visit the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and United Nations on a trip to Geneva.

To enrol for the International & European Law 4 year programme you will need a secondary school diploma comparable to a Dutch HAVO diploma and a good command of English. You should also have an affinity for social issues and economics. A legal professional has to be concerned with social relationships and the role he or she plays in social dynamics.
