Overview

As the EU passes a growing number of economic regulations, these mandates increasingly interact with global trade regulations and with those of its Member States. Businesses that operate internationally are faced with various layers of jurisdiction that sometimes have an unclear hierarchy.

At the European and International Business Law (Advanced LL.M.) programme offered by Leiden University, you will learn how to decipher the complex hierarchy of European and international business law. You will become familiar with the case method approach and the combined research/transfer of knowledge approach. You will also develop a thorough understanding of how EU Law interacts with global economic law.

You will learn to:

apply your knowledge of the law, your experience and your skills in a professional environment

formulate research questions and appropriate strategies for answering these questions and testing hypotheses

apply adequate legal scientific research methods and tools and to present and communicate results and findings, both in an academic as well as in professional context
