Admission Requirement

This Master is selective and open to a limited number of students only. The Admission Board selects on merit.
Factors which will be taken into account are:

GPA at least 3.25 or an overall grade point average at least B+ or 7.2
talent and motivation
proficiency in research methods and techniques
relevant extra-curricular academic and/or work experience
sufficiently proficient in the English language (see language requirements for details)

Applicants with a Bachelor's or equivalent degree in Law (LLB) can apply. Applicants who do not have such a degree, but who have considerable experience in the field of law, are also encouraged to apply, provided that they have a sound academic background.
Your bachelor education is compared to and valued through the UK Naric comparison system and, if necessary, through the Nuffic comparison and validation programmes. Especially students from non-EU countries should factor in the possibility that a relevant Bachelor’s degree could not be sufficient to enter into this Master in Law programme and their application could result in a rejection.
