Elsevier Best Studies compares university programmes annually based on students' assessment of their programmes. The results from the National Student Survey (NSE) are used for this purpose. See in this fact sheet (pdf, 176 kB) how the Nijmegen law faculty's programmes performed.

For each programme, Elsevier compiled a ranking based on students' overall opinions on the 11 satisfaction questions. The Bachelor's programmes in Law, Notarial Law and European Law School and the Master's programmes in Tax Law, Notarial Law and International and European Law ranked first in their fields.
