The Hague University of Applied Sciences Law Programme is focused on the future career of students.
The International Bachelor of Law Programme is especially designed for those who aspire to a career as a legal professional in the world of international (including European) cooperation and in the area of international peace and justice.
You can work as a self-employed legal professional or be engaged by businesses, non-governmental organisations, international organisations, European Union institutions, and governments. For those who wish to practice law in a national jurisdiction, e.g. as an attorney-at-law, a barrister or a judge, local university law programmes are more appropriate.
In close co-operation with The Hague Bynkershoek Institute, where the programme’s research activities are centred, our Law programme focuses on knowledge and skills common to all global jurisdictions, as well as on the regionally-bound know-how and expertise or that of national states:
International Public Law, Human Rights Law and International Arbitration are global. European Law, European Principles of Contract Law, European Intellectual Property Law are regional. Contract Law, Tort Law, Litigation Law and Taxation Law are predominantly learned and interpreted in a national context, though heavily influenced by regional or international law systems. International & European Law believes every international lawyer should have basic knowledge of these fields of law, in addition to mastering basic skills such as listening, writing and presenting.
