We are

The core tasks of the Faculty of Law at Radboud University are education and research. The academic education provided focuses on training all-round lawyers and delivering postgraduate courses for lawyers. The public law-oriented Research Centre for State and Law (SteR) delivers high-quality research that explores various developments in the field of public law. It aims to achieve a structural cross-fertilisation between science and practice, resulting in research that is important to both legal science and legal practice. 

The Department of International and European Law at the Faculty of Law develops and delivers high-quality education in both fields, in English as well as Dutch. It is responsible for a dedicated Bachelor's programme in European law, as well as multiple Master's specialisations in international and European law. The Department conducts research into various specialised fields, including international human rights law, EU external relations law, EU competition law, EU internal market law and the administration of justice. The Department has currently more than 20 staff.
