Course description

This course is an inter-disciplinary program which explores the significance and implications of the creation of the European Union.

Its goal is to provide professionals with a particular interest in the European region or future professionals, with a broad and deep understanding of the history and institutional framework of the European Union as well as of its political, legal, economic and socio-cultural implications. The approach to teaching is inter-disciplinary and draws on a variety of disciplines; history, politics, sociology, law and management.

The range of elective units reflects this interdisciplinary approach and allows students to deepen their understanding of one or more particular aspect of European integration, whilst the research project allows in-depth specialization.

Core units include a broad introduction to the history and theory of the process of European Integration and its multifaceted implications for public policy; an introduction to the basic principles of European Union law of benefit to both established legal practitioners and those without a legal background wishing to become familiar with the legal framework of the European Union; and an introduction to the place of the European union in the international business environment.
