Faculty of Law celebrates 45th anniversary

What are we celebrating?

Since the arrival of the first staff members in 1981, the faculty has developed into an innovative, internationally oriented institution. It is characterised by its small scale, commitment, and personal atmosphere – qualities that continue to form the foundation of our community. Today, the faculty counts over 3,400 students and 420 staff members, all working together in education, research, and societal engagement.

Anniversary activities

The 45th anniversary will be celebrated with and for the faculty community – our students, staff, and alumni. We will integrate the celebrations into existing annual events, which this year will be themed around our anniversary. In addition, a number of special activities will be organised to mark this milestone together. The programme will offer opportunities for networking, inspiration, and collaboration, and will be driven by the energy and creativity of our students and staff.

A special year for Maastricht University

In the same year, Maastricht University itself will celebrate its 50th anniversary, highlighting the joint growth and development of both the university and the faculty – from pioneering years to a leading international university.

It promises to be a festive year, in which we will reflect on our past, celebrate the present, and look forward with confidence to the future of legal education in Maastricht.
