This page outlines the step-by-step process for completing your application to a Master's programme at Utrecht University. Please read this information thoroughly before starting your application.
Your eligibility:
- a bachelor in Law, or
- a bachelor in another discipline with a minor in Law (45 EC), including knowledge/competence in the field of European law, and:
- Knowledge/competence in the field of Principles of Microeconomics
The Admissions Committee accesses your application and decides whether it believes you have demonstrated enough skills and knowledge to successfully complete the Master’s programme within the nominal duration of 1 year.
The committee takes into account:
- The level of the required knowledge and academic skills;
- Mastery of research methods and techniques;
- Your motivation and talent;
- Your command of the English language.
An interview can be part of the selection procedure. The admissions committee will make its final decision based on your ability, your commitment to the subject, your academic skills and your command of English.
English language requirements
You are exempt from the English language requirement because you obtained your previous degree from a Dutch Research University.
