In this LLM programme in Law and Economics we focus on the practical and academic toolkit to operate in the world of leading corporates, law firms, policy-making organisations, regulatory and supervisory bodies, and economic or legal consulting. You will focus on such issues as the economic and legal aspects of market regulation and supervision, competitive strategy, competition policy, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and finance and banking. You will learn from an interdisciplinary team of legal experts and economists who enhance the challenging course content with both theory and real-world knowledge. The interdependence of and useful interplay between economics and legal perspectives is the prime focus of the programme and is discussed  from both the perspectives of the regulator and of the regulated. As a graduate of this programme, you will be uniquely prepared to bridge the gap between law and economics and contribute to addressing the relevant challenges of public and private organisations.

Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt

Graduates of this programme typically apply for positions in regulatory and competition law, or in corporate environments (such as strategy departments of corporate organizations, compliance sections and international consultancies). They also obtain positions at regulatory bodies (such as the European Commission, ECB or national banks) and competition authorities (like the ACM in the Netherlands or a national (competition) authority of the country of their origin). These positions may be at the national level or in European-level institutions, such as ACER or ESMA. Positions in government departments, such as the Ministries of Economic Affairs or Healthcare, are also possible. You may also continue on either large law firms with a strong corporate and competition law focus or to smaller firms specialising in competition law, regulation and supervision of markets. LLM students can obtain the Dutch civil effect qualification (when Bachelor requirements are met), meaning that they can qualify for the professions of both judge and lawyer. Graduates also have continued in academia, either as lecturers or as PhD candidates.
