The teaching takes place in small, seminar style classes, which require your active participation. You will be taught by expert faculty from the International Institute of Air and Space Law, visiting international professors and distinguished legal practitioners specialised in specific aspects of air and space law.
While maintaining the highest academic standards, this programme will help you further develop your professional skills through giving presentations and participating in a moot court competition. For the moot court, you will receive skills trainings in research, analysis, legal writing and pleading. You will gain further experience in preparing oral pleadings and written submissions for a legal case, as well as arguing before a panel of judges.
After completing your courses, you will undertake a 6-8 week internship in an institution dealing with either air or space law, often located beyond the Dutch border. This will not only allow you to gain useful practical insights into the professional world of air and space law, but will also clearly enhance your career prospects. You will complete the programme by writing a thesis.
Blended learning version of the programme
The programme is also offered in a blended learning version. Blended learning is a combination of distance learning and face-to-face learning that enables participants to pursue their studies alongside employment or other commitments.
