The course focuses on two cornerstones of the European law: first, the single market, enabling people, services, goods, and capital to move freely across member states. Second, the protection of human rights, guaranteeing democratic standards and the rule of law within the European Union. The two topics are discussed in particular through the discussion of current judgments of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
By covering these two topics in detail, students gain a comprehensive insight into how the European Union works. This will make it easier for students to cope with future private, academic or professional stays in the European Union.
