Studying Law in Leiden

For centuries, the Leiden Law School has been a respected, internationally-orientated law school of the highest standing.

The study of law is not merely an academic challenge but should also aim to prepare students for legal practice. Universities have a duty to respond to challenges of a changing world and to offer their students the necessary tools to successfully participate in that new legal order. The Leiden Law School aims to provide the most up to date and cutting edge teaching and research through its numerous English taught courses and programmes. The courses and programmes are designed for students and legal practitioners who wish to gain breadth of knowledge but also focus on a particular area.
