Stefan Kulk, Master's student of Information Law
Research Master's in Information Law
"In my opinion an additional advantage of the Master in Information Law is that it transverses the borders between a variety of legal fields."
Stefan Kulk did his Bachelor's in Leiden, where he also earned a Master's in Constitutional and administrative law. He found constitutional law interesting, but thought administrative law was somewhat too formal. "Then I started looking for a Masters which really interested me and that’s how I joined Information Law programme."
The internship that Stefan did for his Masters in Information Law was with the Institute for Information Law and he enjoyed that so much that he then proceeded to the research Masters. "I think the Information Law teachers are very down to earth, they are very accessible and supportive. There are many different teachers, all experts in their field. In my opinion an additional advantage of the Master in Information Law is that it transverses the borders between a variety of legal fields. You have to deal with the Open Government Act, which is hardcore administrative law, but also freedom of expression, which is more constitutional. With intellectual property law you’re in private law, but then you also have telecommunications law, which is an area apart.
I love new technologies such as the internet and the legal issues which they present. This, the great freedom you have to specialise in the area that fascinates you the most, plus the emphasis on research, are the elements that attracted me most to the Research Masters in Information Law. "
