The Global Criminal Law programme is specifically tailored to train students into becoming well-equipped legal professionals with both academic skills and practical knowledge in the field of criminal law. Graduates of the programme can apply their specialized understanding of substantive and procedural criminal law in domestic, regional, and international contexts. In particular, the programme is designed to meet the requirements of a career within international organizations and judicial institutions as well as within inter-governmental and national government agencies.

Below you will see a distribution of the different arenas where past students are currently working. And here you can read about the career paths of our Faculty international graduates. One of our graduates was appointed as Prosecutor General of Rwanda.

Further, all students have access to the university Careers Services Law which can help them in finding and preparing for internships and employment.
