Our Law in Society graduates have been accepted to pursue prestigious master’s programmes in the Netherlands and abroad, and are currently employed in various law firms, NGOs, educational institutions, and international firms. Some of them have pursued careers as legal assistants and consultants, including in areas such as technology, finance, or sustainability, in companies like KPMG, Deloitte, Heineken, STX Group and FORCYD. Others have gone on to conduct internships and work in (human rights) NGOs, government organizations, or international firms and institutions, like ActionAid, Bird&Bird or the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. Law in Society alumni have also chosen to pursue non-legal careers in start-ups, governmental agencies, or publishing, drawing also on the excellent interdisciplinary knowledge and skills acquired in our program.
Become a different kind of lawyer
What can you do after your Bachelor’s degree?
Further your education
An LLB in Law in Society will set you up perfectly for a Master’s programme with a similarly multi-disciplinary international approach. A few of the options available to you include:
- International Business Law: Climate Change and Corporations
- International Business Law: Trade and Investment
- International Crimes, Conflict and Criminology
- International Migration and Refugee Law
- International Technology Law
- Law and Politics of International Security
The Law in Society alumni who now also hold master’s degrees are employed by law firms, NGOs, educational institutions and industry companies and multinationals of various sectors, such as consultancy, technology, and finance. They work as legal assistants and secretaries, paralegals, contract specialists, legal consultants, and analysts. A few alumni with master’s degrees work non-legal jobs for start-ups, governmental agencies, and publishers.
Start your career
As a graduate from the Law in Society programme, there are many paths open to you. You’d be well suited to roles involving international cooperation – for instance, in NGOs or government ministries, working at international level. The big law firms are also looking for graduates with more than just a legal background – they want diverse thinkers who can match their legal training with problem solving on cross-border issues. Equally, international ports are looking for qualified lawyers, as are NGOs and local organisations.
