International and European Law: European Union Law

The Master's track in European Union Law at the UvA attracts around students from all over the world.
Many of the challenges we face today demand an EU law response. As the world's most sophisticated international organisation, it deals with issues like (mass) migration, climate change and cybercrime. Yet, the prominent role of EU law has not gone unquestioned, as illustrated by Brexit. How democratically accountable is the EU? How, in the long term, can the identity of the Member States be safeguarded? The EU Law Master's programme gives students the tools to unlock the many fields covered by EU law.

The LLM in European Union Law gives students the knowledge and skills needed to tackle any legal problem in any field of European law. We aim to provide you with a solid foundation in substantive and institutional EU law. We integrate the most recent academic insights and legal developments into our curriculum and provide a path that allows you to gain proficiency in a specific area of law. To this end, the EU Law Master's programme draws on the expertise of an international academic staff with a range of specialisations including trade law, environmental law and human rights. We encourage you to look beyond black letter law and approach EU law in its economic and political context.
