Career Prospects
Towards a professional career
Graduates of this programme typically apply for positions in regulatory and competition law, or in corporate environments (such as strategy departments of corporate organizations, compliance sections and international consultancies). They also obtain positions at regulatory bodies (such as the European Commission, ECB or national banks) and competition authorities (like the ACM in the Netherlands or a national (competition) authority of the country of their origin). These positions may be at the national level or in European-level institutions, such as ACER or ESMA. Positions in government departments, such as the Ministries of Economic Affairs or Healthcare, are also possible. You may also find employment at large law firms with a strong corporate and competition law practice, or to boutique firms specialising in competition law, regulation and supervision of markets. LLM students can obtain the Dutch civil effect qualification (when Bachelor requirements are met), meaning that they can qualify for judiciary and law practice. Graduates also have continued in academia, either as lecturers or as PhD candidates.
