Public International Law bestudeert het recht dat van kracht is in internationale betrekkingen. Nog niet zo lang geleden was dit min of meer gelimiteerd tussen staten, maar in recente jaren zijn internationale organisaties, volkeren, bedrijven en individuen ook onderdeel geworden van de steeds complexere mondiale samenleving, en daarmee in het domein van het internationale recht terechtgekomen.
Entry requirements
- Bachelor’s in Law (LL.B.) or a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from a recognised university; in exceptional cases a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline (e.g. in Political Science or equivalent) will be acceptable, provided that a substantial number of law courses are included in the bachelor’s programme.
- Proof of sufficient proficiency in English: IELTS test level of at least 7.0 or TOEFL score of at least 600/250/100, evidenced by an appropriate test.
This requirement does not apply if you have:- completed your education in Canada, USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand or Australia, or
- an International Baccalaureate
Students who want to start in September and who do not meet this level of English but who have a minimum score of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent may be offered a place on the programme on the condition that they attend a two-month pre-sessional English course at Leiden University. For the February intake no pre-sessional English courses are offered.
Applicants with a higher professional education (HBO) degree are not eligible for admission, but start in the first year of the bachelor’s. For more information see the Faculty of Law website (in Dutch).
Students who have a LL.B. (Bachelor’s degree) in Law from Leiden University do not have to apply for admission.
