Waarom aan de Amsterdam VU?

In the master track Philosophy of Law and Governance students learn to problematize law philosophically. Already acquired knowledge of law is deepened in a confrontation with philosophical theories and concepts. Students are trained to do philosophical research.

Courses are taught by professors of philosophy from the Faculty of Humanities and by legal theorists and legal philosophers from the Department of Legal Theory of the Faculty of Law. This approach guarantees a unique combination of genuine philosophical training with close analysis of the most fundamental legal problems.

The exclusive character and small scale of this master enables students to profit from intensive contact with professors.

objectives

What is a legal system? Under what conditions is law just? Are citizens of modern, liberal welfare states free and equal? Are there any natural rights? Is international law legitimate? Does social justice apply beyond the state?

Which understanding of a person underlies bioethical legislation? Do new forms of technology and governance undermine standards of what it is to be an autonomous legal subject? These and many other questions are raised and addressed in the two year master track Philosophy of Law and Governance.

Rein Tijm

"After (and during) my bachelor programme in law – which almost exclusively involved the application of existing law – I felt the urge to find out more about the mechanisms and motivations operating in the background process of law creation. The master's programme Philosophy of Law and Governance turned out to be the perfect answer to my interests. The contents of the courses vary widely, which keeps it highly interesting. In some courses you examine the theory of an authoritative legal or political philosopher within a very small group...

With other courses you find yourself in a large group of motivated students from varying disciplines, during which you address some topical theme and study the views of many different philosophers. You learn a lot from each other and develop a wide view of the subject. And, because you normally combine this master with a regular legal master, you can earn two complementary degrees in two years!"
