Admissions

Each year, a limited number of students is admitted to the Master's Honours Research Track; only students enrolled at the Faculty of Law can apply. Students are selected on the basis of their motivation, their research interest and above-average grades. You can apply for the programme by submitting:

• your CV
• a letter of motivation
• your academic transcript (incl. period 1 grades) and
• an example of your legal writing (in English, for instance a paper or thesis written at the bachelor’s stage).

Please send your documents to: law-mhrt@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

Students enrolled in the two-year master’s programme in International Laws can also take part in the Honours programme. They can spend their third semester abroad taking courses relevant to their research.

The application deadline for the 2024/25 intake has closed.  The application deadline for 2025/26 will be published at the beginning of the academic year.
