Location of Tilburg University
Tilburg University has a long-standing tradition in the study of labour law and social security law. The Master´s programme of International and European Labour Law builds further on the reputation of the Department of Social Law of the Law Faculty. In the field of research, the Department of Social Law covers the whole range of individual and collective labour law, including individual employment relationships, labour protection, health and safety, labour market regulation, restructuring of enterprises, worker participation, as well as social security law. Typical of the Department is its strong focus on the study of European, international and comparative labour law and social security law.
Contents
The Master's programme consists of 60 ECTS. It is divided into two semesters of 30 ECTS each. The programme consists of a cluster of compulsory courses (24 ECTS), a cluster of elective courses (18 ECTS) and a master's thesis (18 ECTS).
With regard to the elective courses, students can take any elective course offered by the Faculty of Law, with the approval of the programme director. However, the Faculty proposes two profiles that represent a consistent choice of electives. The 'business' profile is designed for students interested in entrepreneurship or consultancy or in positions in the field of human recourses management or other business-related areas.
The 'governance' profile aims at students interested in public administration or in positions in governmental or non-governmental organisations or trade unions. These profiles are indicative and students are free to choose any combination of these suggested elective courses according to their own interest.

Brussels week and Geneva week
The master programme favours education close to practice and reality. For this reason, two intensive weeks of course work, in the form of workshops and lectures, are planned outside Tilburg. These `intensives´ are programmed in the second semester. The first week takes place in Brussels and concentrates on European labour law, involving guest lecturers from the European institutions. The second week takes place in Geneva (ILO Headquarters), involving guest lecturers from the ILO, and focuses on international labour standards. The Department of Social Law and Social Policy organises travel and stay. Students may choose not to follow the intensives and take an alternative assignment in Tilburg instead.
