Leiden University in The Netherlands is one of Europe’s most highly acclaimed international universities, with a world-renowned reputation in comparative and international law subjects. BU Law students pursue such topics as public international law,\u00a0legal history, canon law, and East European law. The school’s close proximity to The Hague and War Crimes Tribunal allows students to observe proceedings at some of the world\u2019s most venerable international legal institutions. Leiden also serves as a center for international studies and is one of the most\u00a0attractive destinations for European ERASMUS students.\u00a0 The city of Leiden’s rich historical tradition and active international student population also make it an ideal setting to study international topics.<\/p>\n

To earn 12 credits, students enroll in four classes from the school’s expansive offerings in international and comparative law. All courses are taught in English. No more than four students from BU Law may participate each academic year.<\/em><\/p>\n
