Focus on European law in relation to global challenges like climate change, trade, migration and the decline of rule of law. European law is a leading force when it comes to addressing societal issues in Europe as well as globally. Apart from the global impact, expertise in European law is crucial for any lawyer, because it impacts all aspects of domestic law, from business to social welfare. This is a track of the Master's program in International and European Law (LLM).
In this Master's track you explore the constitutional, institutional, and economic foundations of European law with the guidance of international researchers and experts in these fields. The program has a strong focus on the development of skills, which are trained via a variety of assessment methods.
