Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course introduces the students of the Bachelor program in International Legal Studies to European Union (EU) law. It provides them with the basics of EU institutions and procedures: the nature of the Union and the European integration; the division of competences between the EU and its Member States; the sources of EU law, as well as the structure and competences of the main EU institutions: the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of Ministers, the European Commission and the Court of Justice. The course then moves on to the national level and introduces the students to the operation of EU law at the national levels and the enforcement of EU law in and by the Member States.

The aim of the lecture series is, within select areas, to illustrate the dynamics and system of EU law. Its aim is not to list something, but to make the audience to think, engage, and ideally, to start understanding.

Assessment and permitted materials

There is no separate exam for this course. The English lecture is part of the Module PM 2 of the Bachelor program in International Legal Studies (6 ECTS). Students will be prepared to pass a written exam in German language at the end of the Module.
