Law

The master's programme is an important step in preparing for your career. The master's degree is not only a requirement for being admitted to the follow-up programmes for becoming a judge, lawyer or public prosecutor, but it is often required outside of these so-called robed professions as well. During the master's programme in Law, you will sharpen your legal skills. And through the wide selection of tracks, you will develop specialised knowledge in an area of law that appeals to you.

The programme gives you a broad perspective, both legally and socially. More than half of our graduates end up in traditional legal professions, in the positions of: judge, lawyer, public prosecutor, corporate lawyer or legal advisor. But a law degree also prepares you for many other positions, such as that of a journalist, teacher, PhD candidate, policy officer at a municipality or province, legal assistant at a ministry or a position in the service sector, in politics or in civil society organisations. 

Scientific career
