ERASMUS UNIVERSITYROTTERDAMDear prospective student,

Thank you for your interest in our LL.M. programmes.

Erasmus School of Law offers you high quality education in an international learning environment. Our Law School applies an interdisciplinary approach that combines legal, economic, social, and political thinking.

Obtaining a LL.M. at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) is the perfect boost for your career. According to the “New York Times Global Employability Survey”, Erasmus University delivers the best employable alumni of all Dutch universities.

Our LL.M. programmes provide you with theoretical as well as practical knowledge necessary to operate in and to understand the global environment in which law is functioning nowadays. In addition to the regular courses many fieldtrips are organised to law firms, international courts and international companies to experience the (legal) practice: where Law meets Business.

Also excellent skills training such as contract drafting is included in our programmes. Moreover, as a student you will attend classes with people from many different legal cultures, and thus improve your international and intercultural skills.

I hope to welcome you at one of our international programmes!

and practice of international business. At the same time, business problems

have become more and more contentious leading to proliferation of disputes

often dealt with through arbitration as the preferred dispute settlement

technique. The Post-Graduate LL.M. Arbitration & Business law, based on the vast

“I pursued the EMLE programme expecting a truly international and diverse

academic experience and that was exactly what I got. The year started with an

introduction of the building blocks of how economics can be integrated into

the legal sphere, followed by advanced economic analysis and ending with the

Masters’ thesis. The highlight of the EMLE was the cultural exposure that came

along with sharing this amazing year with people from diverse backgrounds and
