Optional internships are an attractive and practical part of the programme. Spending a period of study at the Faculty of Law of the Vrije Universiteit is a wise decision, for a variety of reasons. Firstly, interesting courses are offered and taught not only by the very best professors of our faculty but also by eminent lecturers and professors from the United States and Canada. The faculty is highly rated by students for the quality of its teaching programme, in terms of content, supervision and organization. Secondly, our faculty is comparatively speaking a small one, which helps to create an informal atmosphere.
Accessibility is a key factor, and contact between students and teaching staff is excellent.
The same applies to contact between students. The international atmosphere is enhanced by the fact that annually fifty to sixty students from Europe, the United States, Canada, and South Africa spend some three to five months at our faculty taking courses on our international programme. Thirdly, Amsterdam, as they say, needs no introduction. During your stay in this uniquely fascinating city, you will have the chance to enjoy its many cultural and social attractions. Although much smaller than London or Paris, it is a world famous city, rich in history and art treasures.
