Our world is globalising at an astonishing rate. This has an enormous influence on the legal systems of individual nations, yielding new challenges in all fields of the law.
Law firms, governments and international organisations alike are in growing need of lawyers who can navigate through the legal complexities of this globalising world. The master's in Globalisation and Law is a unique one-year English-taught programme designed to fulfil that need.
At Maastricht University’s Faculty of Law, we embrace a diversity of viewpoints, and debate is central to our curriculum. Instead of taking a ‘globalist’ or ‘anti-globalist’ stance, issues are discussed from different angles.
You'll be invited to consider the arguments and make up your own mind. We also encourage you to participate in our moot courts and practice your argumentative reasoning skills. You’ll learn how to think ahead and respond quickly to situations - skills that will be invaluable later on in your legal career.
The staff of the Globalisation and Law programme do not only have a high level of expertise in the fields of international law, European law and comparative law, they also have many years of experience in key organisations such as Amnesty International and the WTO.
This gives them a special edge in teaching. Their international perspective, combined with a strong understanding of the needs of legal training of the future, has resulted in a programme that approaches the subject of globalisation from an entirely new perspective.
In our education Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is central. It offers a practical, case-based learning approach that will make your learning more relevant and easier to apply in real situations.
It requires you to be proactive in setting learning goals, fosters independent research and critical thinking, and encourages you to work with your fellow students on legal issues.
In this way, you build up the social and legal skills you need for future legal practice. What do our students think about Problem-Based Learning? They explain it in the video below!
