Globalisation and increasing international trade have led to the rapid internationalisation of civil and commercial law, thus forming a complex and multi-layered discipline. Leiden University’s International Civil and Commercial Law programme deals with different levels of international, EU and national laws as they coexist and interact with one another.
Our graduates go on to work at organisations such as private law firms, multinational companies, international courts, governmental organisations and research institutes. Many of our graduates also contribute to legal scholarship in international civil and commercial law by pursuing postgraduate or PhD research.
In order to qualify for admission to the Master of Laws Advanced Studies in International Civil and Commercial Law programme, you should have a full degree in Law offering access to legal practice in the country where it was obtained, or an equivalent degree from a recognised University/Law School, evidence of excellent academic performance, illustrated by way of an academic transcript and sufficient academic background in the area of international civil and commercial law.
