About the Guest booklet This booklet contains an overview of the International Bachelor of Law Programme of The Hague University of Applied Sciences and its Employment Network Event. We intend to highlight several aspects of the programme and the students of particular relevance and interest to prospective employers.

It is a source of great pride for the students, faculty members and administrative staff alike that, just four years after its inception, our Law Programme was recognized in 2014 and 2015 as the best Bachelor of Law Programme in the Netherlands. We, the organisers of the Employment Network Event, (the sole job fair organised by a Dutch University focusing on International and EU law employment), are delighted to give the floor to the representatives of that professional and international programme of Law studies; the students.

When the Employment Network Event was created in 2010, it was impossible to envision that it would not only generate enthusiasm and interest on the part of employers and potential employees, but also result in so many connections between the two, including more than 220 internship offers to our students both within and outside the Netherlands.

This year, 2016, we welcome all of you reading this booklet to the fifth annual Employment Network Event, organized with the ambition of facilitating contact between an even greater numbers of students, universities, employers, as well as providing employers with a platform from which to raise awareness of their organizations and stimulate interest in their activities. It is also an important opportunity for alumni to support the university from which they obtained their first law degree and to forge an even stronger attachment between the students and potential partners of development of the International Bachelor of Law Programme to the city of The Hague, all the international organisations and the University of Applied Sciences.

We all wish you a pleasant and fruitful Employment Network Event 2016.

Employment Network Event 2016

Preface of the Director of the Faculty Public Management, Safety and Law Esteemed guests, dear students, On behalf of the Academy Public Management, Safety and Law, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our guests here at the Employment Network Event 2016, organized by the International and European Law Bachelor Programme. Based in the city of Peace and Justice The Hague, this programme is an ambitious Law Programme within the Academy that strives to develop students into high quality professionals who can operate in an international market.

The Employment Network Event serves as a means to acquaint the students with potential employers for their internship and further career opportunities. Moreover, it aims to acquaint employers to the International Bachelor of Law Programme and its skilled and motivated students, as well as cementing relationships between the Programme and the work field. Both the Programme and I are very pleased to see that the Employment Network Event has grown into an event that is beneficial to both students, employers and the program as a whole.

I would especially like to express our appreciation for the key note speakers who have volunteered to share their knowledge and experience with our students, as well as the many esteemed employers and universities which are represented here today. Your valued presence forms the crucial link between the programme, the employer market and other education organisations. As an Academy and a Programme, we are dedicated to educate the students in such a way that they can enter into your organisation with the competences and skills that your require and expect.

Mrs. Liduine Bremer Director of Faculty Public Management, Safety and Law The Hague University of Applied Sciences

The Faculty mission is to deliver globally competent graduates in the International City of Peace and Justice.

The programme for today includes an introduction to The Hague University and the International and European Law Bachelor Programme, key note speeches and contributions from alumni. Last but not least, we invite you to participate in a meet and greet between employers, guest universities and students on an individual basis.

Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Aurelien Lorange, Mrs. Hyun Ju Park and Ms. Sibug Montero of the External Relations Team as well as the Student Ambassadors for their enormous efforts in making this event a success.

Also on behalf of the Programme Director of the International Bachelor of Law programme Ms. Hilde Cadenau, I wish all of our guests a successful and enjoyable day.

Master of Ceremony Employment Network Event 2016 Welcome / Bienvenue / Welkom / Willkommen / ‫ الها‬/ 欢迎你来 / добре дошъл / Witaj / Bine ai venit Dear guests and colleagues,

Mr. Paul Garlick Visiting Lecturer - International & EU Law Programme Queen’s Counsel (Senior Counsel) The Hague University of Applied Sciences

I would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to all of you. Like many of you, I am a relative newcomer to The Hague University of Applied Sciences, as I was asked to join the teaching staff as a visiting lecturer just last year. When I first visited the university, I had no idea of how it would affect my view of how law should best be taught to students. My previous participation in the teaching of law had focused on the professional development of young practitioners at the Bar in England and Wales and the training of judges, prosecutors and advocates in overseas jurisdictions in Europe, the Caribbean and South East Asia. When I arrived at The Hague University, I quickly realised that this is a very special institution indeed. Not only were my colleagues as welcoming and friendly as I could ever have imagined was possible, but also the students received me as one of their lecturers with enormous enthusiasm. The diversity of the student body and the eagerness of the students to learn and to practice the skills necessary to be a successful lawyer made a huge impression upon me.

Now that I have been teaching here for the last two quarters, I understand what has drawn me to this university and what has made teaching here such a rich experience for me. Unlike most academic institutions that teach law, this university has, at its very core, the ambition to give its students a thorough understanding of the law, set in the context of both its importance to the rule of law in society and the contribution that a good lawyer can make to that society by the practical application of the law. I would commend this university to any student who has the aspiration to become a lawyer who will make a real contribution to the society in which he or she will practice. This university will give them the professional tools that will enable them to achieve their ambitions as a lawyer, wherever in the world they will eventually practice.

Thank you for the interest that you have shown in this event and the contribution that you have made to its success by your participation today. I am confident that this will be a hugely beneficial employment networking experience for both you and the students. We should always remember that the students of today will be the leaders of our professions in the future. Your participation in this event will provide an opportunity to all our students to take those first steps in that journey.

year course of legal study to an exceptionally international and multicultural student population. The setting for the LAW programme is a city, renowned for its international law heritage, as evidenced by the continuing presence of a myriad of international organisations with their headquarters or branch offices located here.

In early 2000, the possibility of studying in International & EU law in English in the “legal capital of the world” was a distant dream, but through the efforts of a committed and productive faculty and staff, the LAW programme has set high and competitive standards of professionalism in the delivery of legal education. The practical focus of the Programme is to prepare students for the realities of the workplace and to be to be operational and competent after graduation at their working place.

The Curriculum provides the opportunity to realize those practical goals by commencing with a strong, comprehensive foundation from which to understand and apply international and EU law in various areas. In successive years, the Programme follows a progression from simple mastery of legal concepts to their more detailed analysis and then finally implementation in a legal setting, be it office, court room, arbitration table and boardroom.

The students obtain greater and greater independence in their studies, contemplating that they will enter their career with the ability to perform with a high level of professionalism and solid legal foundation.

Learning by doing is the tradition of the LAW programme and therefore internship and work placements are essential for the accomplishment of our goal to advance knowledgeable legal professionals. That is one of the reasons why we are keen to ensure employers and students are both satisfied, so we can consistently build on the internationalisation and professional-

TRAINING & EVALUATING THE RESEARCH SKILLS OF THE STUDENTS On their final year at THUAS, the students are required to write the LL.B. Thesis under the supervision of lecturers who are the experts of the relevant academic fields in which the student chooses to submit the thesis. The LL.B. Thesis enables students to conduct independent and original academic legal research while utilizing the feedback from their supervisors. The process of writing the thesis and performing the Thesis Defense not only in presence of the supervisor but also of the external grader, armor THUAS students with the necessary experience to follow a high-achieving academic career. This valuable experience also prepares the students for professional careers as they acquire the tools to work independently on a six month long project where they are not dictated their responsibilities but instead are responsible for benefiting from the guidance and feedback provided by supervisors.

tions that are generated from professional practice. Law students develop the ability to provide legal solutions to societal problems. In their course work and academic research training they learn to adopt a methodological approach to applying their knowledge of the law to carry out research into the operation of new and existing laws and regulations for clients or groups of clients.

Student research is stimulated by lecturers who are also engaged in various research activities. Lecturers are encouraged to take part in the multi-disciplinary research groups around which research at The Hague University is organized. Each research group consists of a Lector and lecturer members. Of particular relevance to the Law programme are the research groups on European Integration led by Professor Jaap de Zwaan, the Lectorate of International Peace Justice and Security led by Prof Joris Voorhoeve and the Lectorate of International Cooperation led by Professor Jos Walenkamp.

Research carried out by law lecturers acts a bridge between the educational objectives of the university and the needs of the market. This is in keeping with the ambition of the university to profile itself as a knowledge center that is of relevance to private and public sector institutions. A recent example of such practice oriented research is the High Level Seminar at the Hague University (sponsored by OLAF - The European Anti-fraud office) on how to more effectively sanction corruption offences by multinational corporations.

Lecturers of the law programme have published numerous books as well as articles in international journals. They present papers and seminars across the globe and have conducted workshops and training programs for Judges and other government officials. Some lecturers also maintain blogs about their research to reach a broader audience. Lecturers are often invited speakers at professional conferences and are themselves members of professional associations as well as national and international bodies.

The cycle of research completed to the benefit of all stakeholders in the Law program. As lectures engage in research, they train students to engage in future research. Law lecturers teach what they research and through their research engage in the broader issues that are of concern to professional practice and ultimately to society in general.

Quality of theses written by advanced students “Students of the LAW Programme are required to write a paper in year 3, progressing to a thesis and its defence before graduation. These two elements of the Programme are compulsory and are designed to sharpen the students’ research and legal analysis skills. During their studies, the students explore a wide range of topics and areas with diverse legal issues. As mentors, we try to foster our students’ ability to develop logical and articulate arguments and sound legal analysis. This process is geared towards preparing them for the type of writing required in their future careers.”

Publication of Internship offers on the Blackboard for recruitment of students

Training offered to students with Workshops on CV, Cover Letter, Job Interview, Career after specialisation and online professional networks

Mandatory internship period of 100 working days before graduation

“Employers have often expressed to those of us mentoring students in internship positions that they are very satisfied with the work of the students of the LAW Programme. We are extremely appreciative of such feedback on the performance of the students. We constantly review our projects and the learning objectives in the courses to ensure the students are well-equipped for the demands of the workplace. It is gratifying for us is that employers make frequent requests for more students of the LAW programme for internship positions in their offices. Law firms, companies, NGOs communicate with lecturers regularly to post internship offers on our “Blackboard” which is our intranet. Students often have the ability and motivation to send their applications to the employer on short notice to help initiate the interview process in an expeditious manner. This cooperation is useful for us because we know better what the needs on the workfield are” William T. Worster - Lecturer “The goal of employment workshops held for students every year is to prepare them to face an internship or an employment interview during or immediately following graduation. It is important that students familiarize themselves with the usual steps and documents required to concisely and accurately convey their capabilities, strengths and interests. They are taught the mechanics of preparing a professional resume, a well-structured cover letter, how to manage questions during Job interviews, to respect the dress-code and to create an online professional profile. Students display an ardent desire to impress the employers and the Employment Network Event provides that moment opportunity, with the chance to apply the skills acquired during the previous months. We try encourage students to maintain a focus on the job market while they are studying.

They are made aware that styles of communication, formats and approaches differ depending on the country, the sector of activity and the degree of experience expected. Above all, students of the LAW Programme realize the necessity of an active role in securing an internship or employment of interest to them, and that complacency is not recommended if they hope to realize their career goals” Aurelien Lorange - Co-founder & organiser of the Employment Network Events “The Internship course consists of 100 consecutive or non-consecutive working days completed on the site of the employer in relation to the legal knowledge acquired during the 4 years of studies in the LAW Programme. Students are expected to follow the instructions of the employer, while using and applying the competences acquired in the programme.

During the internship, a member of the Faculty mentors the students and meets the employer to discuss the performance of the student. We invite and welcome employers to visit the university and to the Professional Advisory Committee meetings and/or the Employment Network Event. In this way, we maintain a continuous dialogue and exchange of ideas in order to improve the curriculum, the internship course, and the overall preparation of students for entry into the workforce and the attainment of a successful career.”

David den Dunnen - Internship coordinator & Co-founder of Employment Network Events

Study & Career coaching Group work in Tutorials & Projects

“In Year 1 and in Year 2, students are divided into tutor groups of approximately 15 students and meet their tutor each week; over 32 times during the academic year, to discuss assignments, project tasks, study techniques and to receive career coaching.

These tutorials sessions are essential, not only as an effective method to provide support to the students in regard to their studies, but also to create a similar atmosphere to what they may encounter in the daily life of a legal officer in a company, a law firm, a public authority or an association. The conscientious performance of Individual tasks and team work are both emphasized. Students are taught the skills required to draft contracts, demand letters, speeches, memorandum, and to engage in the various steps of negotiation, arbitration and the conduct of a case in a courtroom, with a view to exposing them to the obligations they may have to undertake during a legal career.

Tutors, at the LAW Programme, have diverse professional backgrounds, including, private practice, prosecutors, lobbyists, researchers, academics, with many having worked or still working in a variety of organisations and institutions. They all regard students as potential employees of these places.”

EXTERNAL RESEARCH COLLABORATION AND STAFF ACTION The Bachelor of Law Program is committed to both professional and academic achievement. As regards the latter, a special characteristic of the program relates to Faculty Activity in the field of research. Many Faculty members are promising young researchers in search of exciting new research partnerships. Accordingly, the Bachelor of Law Program is open to partnerships on topical research questions in a variety of fields. Particularly in the light of Internationalization as an overarching HHS objective, the Program is interested in acquiring new and engaging research perspectives through collaboration and partnerships with other academic institutions within and without the European Union. It is hoped that such partnerships will make a dual contribution. On the one hand, they will expand and inform the Body of Knowledge of the courses offered to the students, with a view to making their education as updated, relevant and useful as possible. On the other, such research endeavours are expected to yield concrete research results that will contribute to international legal discourse in their own right.

Dr. Michael Vagias - Lecturer & Researcher

LEARNING BY DOING The practical focus of the Programme is to prepare students for working in high demanding, international legal settings. Professionalism and Internationalisation aspects are therefore developed as part of the Curriculum. The Curriculum firstly lets students apply international and European law in various areas. Subsequently, students are trained to progress from simple mastery of legal concepts to their more detailed analysis, and ultimately to their final implementation in concrete cases with a cross-border, legal setting. ‘Learning by doing’ is the tradition of the Programme; internships and work placements are therefore essential for the accomplishment of our goal to advance knowledgeable legal professionals. That is why we are keen to ensure employers and students are both satisfied, so we can consistently build on the internationalisation and professionalism aspects, celebrated during the annual Employment Network Event.
