Introduction
Are you ambitious, analytical, and eager to learn? Would you like to pursue a legal career at an international organization? And are you at the top of your class in law, but do you also have a talent for languages? Then you should consider getting a master’s in International Law. You’ll combine courses on international, European, and comparative law with training in French and an additional foreign language other than English. You’ll also broaden your knowledge of different legal systems by spending at least one semester at one of our partner universities abroad. The program allows you to compile a tailor-made curriculum from courses offered by the European Law School and the Globalisation and Law program. As a graduate, you will be equipped with a thorough understanding of international, European, and/or national law. You’ll also have fluency in at least one foreign language. This unique skillset will allow you to thrive in whatever area of international or European law you want to work in!
