How can companies and governments make legal decisions that keep pace with a rapidly changing world? What role does international law play in trade, investment and sustainability? These are the questions at the heart of the International Business Law (IBL) master’s programme.
You will, for example, work on real cases in international business, trade and investment law, explore the legal aspects of climate transition and sustainability, or study how companies and investors navigate risks and opportunities in a complex global economy. While the exact focus differs by specialisation, each pathway prepares you to become a legal professional with a broad perspective and strong international skills.
VU is proud to be the first university in Europe to offer a dedicated International Business Law degree that combines an all-round Master’s in Business Law with a focus on some of the most complex legal challenges of our time: climate change and the societal and environmental effects of economic globalisation.
You can choose from two English-taught specialisations within IBL. Each specialisation has a clear identity and offers a pathway to a wide range of career opportunities. Both follow a current, practice-oriented approach to business law and focus on what is happening in the world today.
The start date of this programme is 1 September.
