Master Legal Research
Master
The Research Master's Programme is specifically designed for passionate researchers who aspire to pursue an academic career or explore research opportunities outside academia.
It invites you to move beyond learning what the law is, and to investigate what it does and what it should become. In this selective and intellectually challenging programme, you will design your own specialisation, work closely with experienced researchers, and develop advanced methodological and analytical skills.
Whether you aim for a PhD or a high-level career in legal practice, policy or international organisations, this programme equips you with the depth, independence and critical mindset needed to stand out.
