International and Transnational Criminal Law (International Criminal Law)
Amsterdam Law School offers two tracks of a Master’s programme in International Criminal Law. Track 1 is International Criminal Law – Joint programme, together with Columbia Law School. Track 2 is International and Transnational Criminal Law, a full LLM at Amsterdam Law School. Both tracks train a new style of criminal lawyers who are capable of transcending disciplinary borders, by offering a broad and deep understanding of relevant issues of international justice and supporting the development of academic skills through the in-depth analysis.
Two tracks of International Criminal Law
The two tracks start with a common first semester at the University of Amsterdam that includes procedural and substantive law courses regarding the law of international courts and tribunals. You will visit The Hague, the city of international justice, and work with international renowned practitioners, including International Criminal Court judges and prosecutors . Additionally, we offer a range of elective courses such as international humanitarian law, human rights law and the theory and history of international law. Students who participate in the joint programme with Columbia Law School (track 1) will move to New York at the end of our 1st semester. Students enrolled in our International and Transnational Criminal Law (track 2) will expand their knowledge to transnational criminal law and will have opportunities to take internships or conduct (interdisciplinary) research that is relevant for courts and tribunals.
