Hello,
I'm Amy and I am in my second year of the Global law program in Tilburg and I'm happy to help you with any of your questions about the course!!
The main difference and what makes Global Law unique is that you approach Law in a more abstract way, by that I mean rather than focusing on one jurisdiction and learning the national laws in detail, we focus on the concepts behind the laws. For example if were studying tort law and a particular aspect of it we look at the different theories and around 5 main jurisdictions including the perspectives of civil and common law.
It also differs from studying International and European law course as they focus on those legal systems and those specific actors whereas our course covers international law private and public as well as an introductory course in European law, among many other courses which provides a broad knowledge of many different elements of law. The courses are very multidisciplinary and in this sense it varies from many other law courses because it does not focus on making lawyers, many of my fellow students are also interested in working in NGO's or Multinational organisations, and of course becoming a lawyer is also a possibility!
Tilburg itself is a nice city particularly for students and from my experience of moving away from home very manageable as it is not that big, with lots for students to do. The university is laid out on a campus which from what I've heard is quite unusual for the Netherlands!
Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions, I hope that helped!
