The Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law offers the Dutch master Financial Law and the Advanced Master International Financial Law Furthermore, they provide a course within the bachelor International Business Law and offer a wide variety of postgraduate education.

Bachelor

The Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law also provides academic education in the bachelor-phase. It is involved in the third-year students’ course Financial Law in the bachelor of International Business Law.

Master

Within the general master’s programme of law, Financial Law is one of nine specialisation programmes. The main focus of this specialisation programme is the increasing influence of financial law on commercial legal practice. Six reasons to choose the Financial Law specialisation programme:

• Topical: Financial law is constantly evolving. In this master’s programme we constantly discuss current developments in the field of legislation and high-profile cases.
• Connection with practice: Many of the teachers are (or have been) also active as practitioners. Furthermore, students get introduced with practice through visits to, for instance, financial institutions, the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and Euronext Amsterdam.
• Internationally oriented: We believe Dutch financial law should not be studied separately from European law, nor from the influences of Anglo-American law.

Advanced master

The Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law offers the Advanced Master International Financial Law. The advanced master focusses on the regulation on financial markets and the intersection of the financial economy and law. It also has a special focus on the ethics within the financial world. 

Postgraduate courses

Het  Hazelhoff Centre for Financial Law offers a wide range of postgraduate courses. We organise conferences and symposiums, and we provide – upon request – lectures and tailor-made courses for attorneys, supervisors and corporate lawyers on specific topics of financial law. In addition, we also participate in the regular postgraduate programme (PAO) of Leiden Law  School.
