International Business Law Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Overview

VU Amsterdam does not offer a single International Business Law specialisation. We offer three very clear legal identities covered by separate Master’s specialisations. Each of these specialisations open up a wide range of specific career opportunities in an international environment.

Each specialisation has an outspoken and up-to-date approach to today's corporate law. They are focused on what is going on right now:

• Markets and Behavior 
• Commercial Transactions 
• Climate Change and Corporations

VU is proud to be the first university in Europe to offer a specific International Business Law degree that combines an all-round Master's in Business Law, with a specific focus on some of the most complex legal challenges of our day around climate change.
