Curriculum

This LL.M. is problem-based and interdisciplinary, combining mandatory courses with thematic, case-based clusters and an open space.

You have the opportunity to study abroad for one semester at one of our partner universities, within or outside Europe. Every cluster in the Master of Laws has a number of privileged partners that offer courses complementary to the UAntwerp clusters. In this case, you choose 18 ECTS abroad and 3 ECTS open space. The latter can be taken in Antwerp or abroad. You can go abroad during the first or second semester of your second year. 

If you don’t want to choose another cluster, you have the option to select an advanced course, a specific course, and an elective course in your field of interest.
