Why study with us?
Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance
The Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance is a unique combination of three departments. This multidisciplinary approach makes the faculty an outstanding partner for knowledge exchange at a high level. This faculty offers courses in Essentials of Business, Labour Economics, European Governance, Introduction to Public Administration and Organisational Science, European and Comparative Law and more.
The Faculty is located in several monumental buildings in the historic city centre of Utrecht, all within walking distance of each other.
Learning is based on a strong interdisciplinary approach and courses are taught in small groups, to foster the intensive exchange of ideas between students and lecturers. Our academic staff have high expectations of their students, but also provide ample opportunities for students to develop their own views and talents.

Erasmus + traineeships are not considered educational activities but research activities because it is related to work experience rather than following courses. Therefore applications for Erasmus + traineeships have to be submitted via the portal for visiting researchers and lecturers, https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/faculty-of-law-economics-and-governance/research/visiting-researchers
