Mandatory courses

The programme starts with some mandatory courses that will provide you with a solid academic foundation for the other courses, your Master’s dissertation and your professional career. Some of these courses are practice-oriented and will increase your research and communication skills. The methodological courses will introduce you to a variety of theoretical and epistemological approaches to legal research and legal research methodologies, and the requirements of academic writing by focusing on the development of your research skills and on the writing process. Other more substantive courses are meant to create a level playing field and focus on a wide range of subjects, such as EU institutional law, EU internal market law, EU external relations, constitutional principles and human rights, private international law, public international law and international dispute settlement.
