Faculty of Law | 12 Masters

History

The Faculty of Law was founded in 1982 with 90 students. Like Maastricht University’s other faculties, it emphasised innovative education, and successfully applied Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for the first time in a law programme in the Netherlands.

Education

The faculty’s courses are characterised by their small-scale approach. During the first year there is a maximum of only 15 students in each tutorial group, which makes education intensive and student-centred. Students learn how to acquire new knowledge by solving problems. This method, referred to as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), was originally developed in Maastricht, and has been replicated in many other places. PBL increases students’ knowledge and in particular their ability to deal with new problems, rules, laws and complex situations – an important skill for every lawyer.

Research

The Faculty of Law has a strong and distinct international profile both in education and research. Our faculty is an inspiring and lively place where enthusiastic and inquisitive researchers attempt to find answers to the important legal issues of today. Researchers are able to flourish in the faculty’s vibrant academic community. They develop their own research projects, within the contours set by the faculty’s research programme. Research is focused on the study of the role of law in an increasingly globalised society.

Research involves studying both institutional and substantive developments in the process of Europeanisation and globalisation and the role of the national legal order therein.

Career

The programmes offer a excellent employment possibilities after graduation.
