European Law-Uni

European Law
The influence of the European Union on the regulations and rights of its member states is growing. Outside Europe too, the European legislative system is important, as it can be seen as providing an example to the rest of the world. As a lawyer you can no longer ignore European law. Whereas other study programmes have chosen the broad approach, the focus in Nijmegen is on depth. You will receive a thorough education in European law, covering competition law, immigration law, external relations law, judicial protection, peace and safety and public international law. This programme provides a sound basis for an international legal career.

Experts
You will receive lectures and guidance from experts. The Faculty of Law has an international reputation in the field of immigration law, European law and private law. Nijmegen lawyers regularly do research assignments for the European Union and the Dutch government. The Business and Law research institute is known for its expertise in competition law.

Personal approach
The Faculty of Law has deliberately chosen a small-scale approach and this has contributed to its reputation for quality and excellence. There is close contact between lecturers and students and, as a Master’s student, you too will receive personal guidance.

International flavour
The whole Faculty is internationally orientated with an extensive network that includes more than 50 universities in Europe, USA and Australia. It is also a member of the Pallas Consortium – a cooperative initiative involving nine European universities that has developed an advanced inter-university curriculum in European Business Law.
