"Studying at VU Amsterdam was my first international education experience and I am most grateful for being given the opportunity to study in this great city. The LLM in International Business Law provided me with valuable insights on major differences between the common law and the EU law, and solutions on how to overcome common problems in legal practice. Besides that, it was a pleasure to discuss with fellow students from all over the world. I am convinced that the knowledge I gained here will greatly affect my professional career as an attorney at law.
