“After a year studying at Erasmus University, I look back and I still cannot believe that time flew so fast. I found in Rotterdam everything that I was looking for, and even more. The programme of the LL.M in Commercial Law is a complete programme with an interdisciplinary approach. Some teachers are academics, some are lawyers and it is greatly interesting to combine both the theory and the practical approach. High quality teaching is combined with a friendly environment: the teachers are open to discussion, and the students are expected to take actively part in the lectures.

The staff and the teachers are really supportive and always eager to help. Moreover, it has been a wonderful experience for me, to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. We are planning on visiting each other in our respective countries; I have now friends everywhere in the world! I learned a lot and it really opened my mind to the world. Furthermore, as Rotterdam is located in the centre of Europe, we have had lots of opportunities to travel around Europe with my classmates, either on study trips organised by the University, or by ourselves. We have so many wonderful memories! I will never forget this amazing year that I spent in Rotterdam, and I would recommend it to everybody”
