Field of Specialization European Union Law In Depth

Learning Outcomes and Description

As part of their studies within the focus area "Law in its European and International Dimensions", students can earn a specialization certificate in "European Union Law In Depth". This requires 18 ECTS credits.

in view of the increasing influence of EU-law on the legal systems of EU Member States and beyond, knowledge of European law is becoming increasingly important. In-depth knowledge of European Union-law is therefore required not only for traditional legal professions such as judge, lawyer and notary, but also for work as a corporate lawyer and in the public sector. 

The diverse range of courses offered in the specialization area "European Union Law in Depth" allows students to gain an understanding of a wide range of legal areas from a European perspective, such as European competiion law, European energy law and the regulation of social media and artificial intelligence in the European Union 

In addition, students have the opportunity to deepen theri knowledge of the European Single Market and the functioning of the European Union's institutions, ECJ proceedings and European fundamental rights. 

Attending the lecture "Substantive European Law" ist strongly recommended. 

Studnets should also receive easier access to the European labour market: in addition to the German-language courses on offer there are therefore a large number of English-language courses. This should further contribute to opening up a wide range of options for students' professional career.
