International and European Public Law: Tilburg University

Course Description

The IEPL Master programme is a full-time academic degree (LLM) for students who wish to obtain specialized education in a particular area of Public International or European Law and of international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union. All core courses of the programme are taught by specialists with a strong research record in their respective fields and by guest lecturers from European and international institutions and organizations.

The IEPL Master Programme offers an analysis of the international legal order and of the core issues of the new Millennium. It does so from two distinct perspectives:

• Public International law and Human Rights, and
• European Union Law

Students whose main interest is in developing their knowledge of international law, international politics and human rights issues will be able to register for the International Law and Human Rights specialisation, while students whose main interest is in European law and politics will be able to register for the EU Law specialisation. The law but also the international organisations and judiciary bodies within which it is made, interpreted, and applied are the core focus of the programme.
