About this guide

The Hague is the world's capital of international law. Dutch LLMs are taught in English, cost less than the UK or US, and come with a one-year job-search permit. Housing is the catch.

The Netherlands is the natural choice for international law. The Hague hosts the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Many Dutch LLMs are taught entirely in English and cost less than equivalent programmes in the UK or US.
