After successful completion of the course, students are able to recognize and analyze labour and social security law problems in the European context, to solve concrete case studies independently on the basis of legal texts and to act as competent discussion partners in discussions with experts.To understand the contents and goals of the course described above, it is recommended that students already have an advanced knowledge of labour and social security law (ideally the already successfully completed the Modulprüfung Arbeits- und Sozialrecht), since the course builds on this knowledge. Knowledge in the field of European law is also an advantage.The successful completion of this course is a mandatory requirement for the participation in the Hugo Sinzheimer Moot Court Competition!
