Master

International and European Tax Law (General Track)

Are you an analytical thinker? Are you interested in tax law, business, finance and politics? And can you see yourself advising international companies or private individuals on international tax issues? Then why not study International and European Tax Law? In addition to corporate taxation and international tax planning, you’ll study a broad range of related economic, legal and social topics. The programme is taught entirely in English, but if you’re a student of Fiscaal Recht or Fiscal Economics, you can take an advanced Dutch course in corporation tax and will be able to meet the membership requirements for the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors (NOB). The demand for tax law specialist outnumbers the supply, so upon graduation you'll find yourself in an excellent position. Almost all of our students find jobs as legal or financial consultants soon after they have graduated.
