'Our faculty is not only academically excellent but deeply connected to practice: Tax advisory, tax authorities, government, and the judiciary. Our program is dynamic and continuously updated to reflect ongoing developments in international taxation. Our ambition is to train highly skilled, globally oriented tax professionals who stand out in the market and make a real difference.'

Ms. A. Vvedenskaya, Adv. LLM.

'As a former student of this programme, I know firsthand the insights and opportunities it offers. That experience shapes my teaching today, where I focus on connecting theory with practical application to help students build a strong foundation for work in transfer pricing and international tax.'

Dr. Vassilis Dafnomilis

'As the academic coordinator of the programme, I ensure that our courses are seamlessly integrated. By coordinating and teaching the Foundations course, I make sure you all reach the same level of knowledge before moving on to advanced topics. You'll meet me again as the teacher and coordinator of the EU tax law course. Exciting developments are unfolding in the EU right now, and this is relevant whether you're living in the EU, planning to work here after graduation, or returning to another country.'

'This programme provides students with the expertise needed to understand and address today’s global tax challenges. In the International Tax Law Moot Court, I train them to approach complex disputes with confidence, developing analytical precision and the advocacy skills essential for a successful career.'

Prof. dr. Sjoerd Douma

'During my six years as programme director, I saw this programme transform motivated students into confident tax professionals ready for the global stage.'

Prof. dr. O.C.R. Marres

'Tax treaties are the backbone of the international tax system. The Tax Treaties I course offers you an overview of the Articles in the Model Conventions.  The Tax Treaties II course takes a deep dive into topics such as anti-abuse, non-discrimination, hybrid entities and other mismatches, interpretation and treaty policy.'

Dr. Giorgio Beretta

'The courses VAT/GST and VAT Advanced aim to familiarise students with the fundamental principles underlying a VAT/GST-type of tax. VAT/GST is central to international taxation, with 175 countries worldwide adopting it. This creates discrepancies among different VAT/GST systems, resulting in potential double taxation or non-taxation. So, I promise you will never have a dull moment in VAT!'

Prof. dr. Daniël Smit

'With the recent introduction of a 15% global minimum tax for large MNEs, the world of international taxation is more exciting than ever! After finishing your LLM you can be sure you will find a useful job in the field of minimum tax.'

Mr. Juan Manuel Vazquez

'Pursuing this program will be a life-changing experience that will enhance your professional career and provide you with all the tools required to succeed in the growingly complex world of international taxation.'
