Welcome at the Faculty of Law
At the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Faculty of Law we train lawyers and criminologists to develop sharp critical minds, with a strong focus on the societal relevance of law.
Having an impact on society is essential to all our teaching and research: from digitisation, ransomware, sex offenses and medical liability to colonial injustice, family reunification, citizen participation and climate law.

What we do
We offer Bachelor’s programmes in four main fields: Law, Notarial Law, Law in Societyand Criminology. In addition, we offer an extensive range of Master’s programmes as well as contract education (for non-student visitors). Much of our research is both international and multidisciplinary in character.
A society that is continuously advancing demands lawyers who aren’t afraid of change. Who approach the world with an open mind and stand with both feet firmly rooted in society. That’s why our teaching and research embody the values of cooperation and diversity. By holding a problem up to the light, by approaching it from different perspectives, we learn together to think critically, develop a broader mind and arrive at creative legal solutions together.
