From the 2019-2020 academic year on the Adv LLM Programs of ITC Leiden will be offered in cooperation with the Global School for Entrepreneurship, an officially recognized and accredited Business College that operates in The Netherlands and is affiliated with the German EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht. With its new partners ITC Leiden will have windows of opportunity for further growth that were not available to it under the regime of Leiden University. ITC Leiden will continue to offer its Adv LLM Program in International Tax Law in exactly the same way as in the past years: same curriculum, same teachers, same building and staff, and Prof. Kees van Raad as its director. The next edition the ITL Adv LLM Program will start on 1 September 2019. Currently, final arrangements are being made for the timely issuing of Dutch visas to students that have been admitted to the Program. There also is an important new development. Next year, in 2020, ITC will offer the first edition of its long-awaited 12 months Adv LLM in Transfer Pricing for Multinational Enterprises (TP Adv LLM). Final accreditation of the TP Adv LLM Program is being arranged. Further news will be posted here as soon as it is available. |

The Master of Advanced studies in International Tax Law
has been designed to provide in depth training for lawyers and economists who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the theory and practice of international tax law. The Program is aimed at university graduates whose studies included at least one substantive tax course. Candidates will have recently graduated from law school (or obtained a master’s degree in economics or business) or will expect to do so before the courses start. Alternatively, they may already have obtained a few years experience in tax practice after their graduation (with a law or accounting firm, or in a Ministry of Finance or Revenue Service) or in teaching or research at a graduate institution.
