European Law

This Master's programme covers the interplay between law and technology in Europe and teaches students about the legal challenges resulting from digitalisation.
Technology is everywhere around us, making our lives easier in countless ways. This thought-provoking Master's dives deep into the fascinating digital and societal developments that are raising new questions at the intersection of law, regulation and technology. As a student on the programme, you will examine the role played by the EU as it looks to regulate and police these technologies, and whether Europe's laws are 'future-proof' enough to withstand continuing technological innovation and change.

This Master's programme European Criminal Justice in a Global Context deepens the knowledge on EU criminal law and its interaction with national criminal justice systems. 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).
"We challenge our students to examine how criminal justice systems can adapt to the shifting and changing demands those systems face nowadays"- Prof. dr. Michiel Luchtman
