The Amsterdam Law Practice (ALP) is a unique experiential education program for all law Master's students. In the Amsterdam Law Practice, you learn by reflecting on who you are as a lawyer and how you want to contribute to society in the future. You apply your academic knowledge of law and your learned skills by stepping into the shoes of a lawyer in real or simulated cases.

As part of your LLM programme, you must take at least one ALP course of 6 ECTS and a maximum of 12 ECTS. You can take these ALP courses in the form of clinics, where you participate in real cases, or in a moot court or law Lab, where practice is simulated.

The Amsterdam Law Practice won a Dutch Higher Education Prize for innovative education in 2022.

The quality of the International and Transnational Criminal Law LLM has been positively assessed by the Accreditation Organisation of The Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO). Upon successful completion of the programme, students will thus receive a legally accredited master's degree and the title Master of Laws (LLM).

International and Transnational Criminal Law is a side track in the Master’s programme International Criminal Law which you can choose. Another track of this Master’s programme is Joint Program – International Criminal Law, a collaboration with Columbia Law School.
