The Amsterdam Student Association of International Law (formerly Volkenrechtskring) is a dynamic student association for anyone studying or interested in international law. Whether you’re pursuing a related degree or simply passionate about global legal issues, ASA offers a vibrant platform to connect, learn, and grow.

​​

As a member, you’ll receive monthly newsletters featuring updates on upcoming events, professional opportunities, and academic resources - all tailored to your interests.

​​

We regularly host a wide range of events, including informal drinks, career panels, lectures, and study trips. These gatherings are a great way to meet fellow students in a relaxed setting while gaining insights from experts in the field.

 

Our main objective is to create a space where students in Amsterdam can exchange views on international law and engage with the Netherlands’ unique position as a global hub for international legal institutions. Visit our Events page to see what’s coming up and how you can take part.

​

Each year, ASA organizes a four-day trip to Geneva, offering students a firsthand look at the institutions they study in class. Previous visits have included: Palais des Nations, The International Committee of Jurists and The World Trade Organisation, among many others. This trip provides an unforgettable opportunity to experience international law in practice. For updates and details on this year’s application process, head over to our Annual Exccursion page.
