Bachelor's level

Private Law

In the Bachelor’s degree programme, basic training is offered with an emphasis on issues relating to ownership, contract and liability. The choice in seminars, electives, internships and thesis topics offers you the opportunity to add your own accents. For example, you can opt for profiling yourself in the field of damage and liability, drafting and litigating contracts, working with financial and security bodies/issues as well as the international aspects of private law, family law, procedural law or health law.

Notarial Law

Within the UG, the Notarial Institute Groningen (NIG) provides the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes in Notarial Law and parts of the English-taught Bachelor’s degree programme in International and European Law, the Honours College and a number of tracks within the Master’s degree programmes in Dutch Law.

The Bachelor of Notarial Law program covers law “from the cradle to the grave” and focuses on everyday practice: subjects such as relationship property law, registry property law, law of persons and family law and inheritance law affect everyone. Corporate law also receives attention in the program. The subjects are practice-oriented. In addition to a career in notarial law, a career in real estate, insurance, banking, the legal profession, the judiciary and the Public Prosecutor's Office is also on the horizon (toga professions require the additional civil effect). The program is closely aligned with programs in which private law is predominant.
