Master in Commercial Law

Master of Laws in Commercial Law (LL.M.)

Company law, labour law: shareholders’ rights, workers’ rights. What’s the impact of EU law? What happens in the boardroom? International business contracts are the focus in this top-notch programme.

Cross-border voting, international mergers, freedom of establishment... redundancies? Get the facts on intellectual-property, security, and ownership rights. Learn how risks are shared, and about the key role of title documents such as bills of lading and letters of credit.

Our excellent faculty has a wealth of experience in commercial and legal practice. See how business and the law work in Rotterdam, a major commercial centre and a world port. Combine company and commercial law with European and comparative private law. Apply a range of perspectives – transnational, international, and comparative – to national law. Get the tools to do business internationally, or give yourself a leg-up in your current career in law, academics, or business.
