General Information
Located on a green campus in the oldest city in the Netherlands, Radboud University in Nijmegen is a welcoming, forward - looking, research-based centre of learning that covers the full range of academic disciplines.
It has excellent study facilities and a lively student culture.

Thanks to good public transport connections, all other parts of the Netherlands are easily accessible and Brussels and Paris are only a few hours away.
Traditionally amongst the smaller in the Netherlands, the Faculty of Law of Radboud University has a long standing reputation for quality in research, teaching, and organization.
About twenty years ago, the Faculty of Law of Radboud University was the first in the Netherlands to start a European Law programme. During the past decades the Faculty has built an international reputation in the field of European (competition) law, immigration law, insolvency law and private law. Its approach to teaching is small-scale, personal, and interactive. Master’s students have close contact with both lecturers and fellow students, as classes are deliberately kept small.
The Faculty of Law has a truly international orientation and is part of a large network that includes more than fifty universities in Europe, the United States and Australia. All staff and students speak English.
The Faculty of Law at Radboud University is rated number one in Holland for student satisfaction and has moved recently into a new building: the Grotius building. This is an impressive ultra-modern building with state-of-the-art facilities for both students and alumni.
