European Law School English Language Track
The Maastricht University law school presents the unique bachelor's programme in European Law
Just as every other country, the Netherlands has its own legal system. Due to increasing internationalisation and the expansion of the European Union, there is growing demand for jurists trained in international law – and particularly European law. Simply consider the diversity of policies on drugs in the various EU member states. Jurists trained in European law must ensure that these countries can and will continue to understand one another when it comes down to the organisation of our European society.
The English-language track of the European Law School bachelor’s programme is especially interesting if you want to work in a European or international legal setting in the European Union. It combines European and international law and the legal systems of different EU member states more in depth than any other international law programme in Europe and provides you with a thorough knowledge of legal English.
The programme trains you in all sorts of legal skills such as writing briefs, presenting, mooting and pleading a case. This makes the European Law School programme unique, challenging and the perfect choice for career-oriented students. Moreover, the Maastricht University law school has won first place in international moot court competitions and has quite a reputation to keep up. Are you willing to defend it?
