Hans Ankum studied Dutch law at the University of Amsterdam . After completing his law exam on December 15, 1953, he continued his education in Paris .

On June 29, 1962, he received his doctorate in Amsterdam with the work De geschiedenis of the " actio Pauliana " under Hendrik Richard Hoetink (1900–1963) as a doctor of law.

On February 20, 1963, Ankum was appointed professor of law, with a focus on the basics of Roman and earlier Dutch law, at the University of Leiden . He took up this position on March 1, 1963 and gave his introductory speech on January 31, 1964, De voorouders van een boze fee (freely translated into German: The ancestors of an evil fairy ), and he also had his speech in Leiden on November 5, 1965 got an extraordinary professorship for a period of three years, during which he taught the basics of Roman law.

But he was drawn more to Amsterdam, where soon afterwards, on November 15, 1965, he was given a full professorship for Roman law, the historical development of jurisprudence and legal papyrology. Although he was again engaged in Leiden from November 15, 1968 to December 31, 1968, his main place of activity remained in Amsterdam. Until his retirement on August 1, 1995, he wrote a large number of literary treatises, was dean of the law faculty twice (1976–1978 and 1989–1991) and vice-rector of the Alma Mater in 1979 and 1984/85.
