Faculty of Law

The Faculty of Law is a modern, internationally oriented institution with a four-hundred-year-long tradition. The Faculty of Law has over 3,700 students and some 350 staff members and is thus one of the largest faculties of the University of Groningen. Its effective quality-control system ensures continuous emphasis on the quality of teaching and research.

You’ll be working at the Department of Business Law, European Law and Tax Law. Within this department there’s a high-profile and dynamic research-led group working, which engages in research in both the classic and more recent areas of European Law. The current research of the department covers subjects such as (but not limited to) the Internal Market; Judicial Protection; Citizenship; Rights and Values in the European Union; Energy Law; Competition Law, and European Environmental Law.

All the members of the Department participate in the research programmes of the Faculty. In particular, the Department plays a major role in the research programme 'Protecting European Citizens and Market Participants'. Various members also participate in the activities of the Groningen Centre of Energy Law.

Teaching in the bachelor's degree programmes of the University takes place in Dutch or in English (depending on the programme), and all the master's level teaching in European Law is in English.
