Quality assurance

The Faculty of Law has its research programmes assessed on a regular basis. Twice every six years the two research schools in which the Faculty of Law participates (Ius Commune and Human Rights) are evaluated by independent peer review committees. Furthermore the two schools receive every six years full accreditation from the KNAW (the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences). 

Please find below the most recent international peer review evaluations of Ius Commune and Human Rights:

In April 2009 the Executive Boards of nine Netherlands Universities with faculties of law jointly established a committee to evaluate the quality of research at their respective institutions in the years 2003 to 2009. Read the evaluation report 2010.

The Maastricht Faculty of Law subjects itself also to public benchmarking. The `Facts & Figures` provide benchmarking data related to the quality and quantity of research output of the Faculty of Law.
