Profile
Increased economic integration has become part of modern-day life both within the European Union and Internationally. Economic integration often translates into policy and law. It affects our lives in multiple ways and has severe consequences for the rule of law, democracy and human rights. This LLM allows you to analyse these effects. After completion, you can provide profound legal advice in the field of international and European law and economic integration to both public and private entities. First blockIn the first block, you will learn how European and International institutions encourage market integration. You will acquire knowledge of the trade rules of the European Union and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Also, you are challenged to consider the effects of market integration including for example human rights and the protection of the environment.Second blockIn the second block, you will explore the multidimensional nature of legal orders. You will study ‘real world issues’ to learn how international and European legal orders inter-relate with international private legal orders and national legal orders.Third and fourth blockIn the third and fourth block, you choose your specialisation. You can opt for a track in European Union Law or International Law and Global Governance. The European option focuses on Economic Integration Law and includes courses like EU competition law, Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and Financial Supervision. In the International Law specialisation, the focus lies on International Governance and includes courses like Human Rights Law, International Criminal Law, International Economic Law and Environmental Law. During the final block, you follow only one course because you will spend the majority of your time in writing your thesis based on your specialisation.Practical skillsAcquiring practical legal skills is an important and useful aspect of this programme. You are trained to structure, write and present legal advice for example by producing a policy paper or pleading in a moot court session. Also, you will receive cross-cultural communications training which enables you to negotiate in an international environment successfully.The staff and students organise visits to European and international courts and organisations annually. During these visits, you can see how things work in practice. The LL.M. programme in International and European Union Law offers small scale education in which international students and the international staff actively engage with each other.
