Overview of English taught courses
In addition to the courses offered at Erasmus School of Law, students may also follow courses at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences. Our courses are scheduled per Master programme as a result combining courses from different Master programmes may result in a conflicting schedule.
Criminology
Please note that the number of criminology courses is limited. In order to obtain sufficient EC, Criminology students may follow our LL.M. courses as well, provided that they have sufficient knowledge in the field of law.
In addition to the courses offered at Erasmus School of Law, students may also follow courses at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences.
