Overview
Digitalisation, internationalisation, and European integration pose challenges to criminal justice in all European countries. EU law and criminal law have entered into a dynamic interaction, which is redefining their very foundations, principles and concepts. Practice shows that there is an ever increasing need for practitioners and academics that properly understand these challenges and are able to transform them into opportunities for a fairer and more efficient legal system.
Career opportunities
There is a growing demand, both in the governmental and wider public sector as well as private practice, for talented law graduates who are capable of looking beyond the boundaries of national criminal law and policy. The unique knowledge and skillset developed through the European Criminal Justice in a Global Context from Utrecht University allows graduates to work in diverse and wide-ranging areas of law and administration. You could find yourself working in legal practice at a national or European level, or in a wider international context. Whether you intend to work within national legal practice, or perhaps the EU or further afield, the LLM in European Criminal Justice in a Global Context provides an excellent springboard for a successful legal career.
