It is designed to prepare the student for today's dynamic, fast-changing and increasingly globalised legal environment. It intends to be an intellectual challenge as well as the platform for a legal career.

This LLM focuses on:

  • the constitutional foundations for criminal justice in a Europeanised setting, including the fundamental rights dimension and the harmonisation of defence rights and safeguards;
  • the effects and impact of EU law on domestic criminal justice and its relationships with administrative law enforcement in such areas as anti-money laundering, financial fraud and other serious cross-border offences;
  • the different legal regimes for transnational enforcement cooperation and exchange of information, including the European Arrest Warrant and European Investigation Order;
  • the relationships between national criminal justice and EU authorities such as Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office;
  • the relationship between European criminal justice and its global context (external dimension).

Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt

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 LLM in European Criminal Justice programme creates a path for graduates to work in diverse and wide-ranging areas of law and/or administration. You could find yourself working in legal practice at a national or European level, or in a wider international context. Our graduates are well suited to life in European or international organisations, but also meet the requirements of the ‘civiel effect’ covenant in the Netherlands. This opens up multiple opportunities to apply their skills in legal and/or administrative practice at national level. From the public prosecutor’s office summoning a foreign witness, to a private defence lawyer using the EU directive on the presumption of innocence to support their argument in a national criminal case,to a law clerk or a judget at a national court, the unique insight you stand to gain during your studies is increasingly sought-after by employers.
