Then apply to the program Legal skills for European Challenges! Professional support for citizens/communities, require a solid knowledge of EU Law and International Law, but above all a set of legal skills. We offer you the professional training and experience to gain these skills!
Working on skills
You will be working on your legal skills such as basic legal vocabulary, communication and argument skills. This is vital to every law student, professional lawyer or those who deal with legal aspects of business, social work or public administration. But we go beyond that, we also include mediation and negotiation skills which you’ll need in your future work as a social-legal professional.
Team work
During the programme, students from related courses work together to carry out projects. You are trained to be multidisciplinary professionals. Social work students, law & public management students and urban development students work side by side on cases for public or private clients.
For society
Being part of society and contributing to solving problems of citizens is a big part of your motivation. The Sustainable Development Goals of UN are the framework for our work at Saxion.
