In the next academic year, the Utrecht Law School is starting a new master LLM programme. The programme focuses on the role of criminal justice systems in a Europeanized and internationalized legal environment, including enforcement and applicable human rights and constitutional standards. The content focuses on the following:

• The constitutional foundations for criminal justice in a Europeanized setting, including the fundamental rights dimension and the harmonisation of defence rights and safeguards;
• The effects and impact of EU law on domestic criminal justice and its relationship with administrative law enforcement in such areas as anti-money laundering, financial fraud, and other serious cross-border offences;
• The different legal regimes for transnational enforcement cooperation and the exchange of information, including the European Arrest Warrant and the European Investigation Order;
• The relationships between national criminal justice and EU authorities such as Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office;
• The relationship between European criminal justice and its global context (external dimension).
