Course content

The UK is at a crucial juncture in its relationship with the EU. Offering a broad perspective on the governance of Europe, this course examines the role of its institutions in the global legal order.

You will develop specialist knowledge of the law of the supranational European Union as well as the intergovernmental Council of Europe.

This course also addresses the substantive laws these institutions have adopted. You can choose modules in the aspects of European law that interest you, whether it is the Council of Europe's flagship European Convention on Human Rights or the EU's regulation of consumer protection or intellectual property regimes.

As the institutional home of several leading texts on EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights, the School of Law is a natural choice for pursuing your advanced studies in European law. Academic staff have strong reputations in various areas of European law, including fundamental rights, public procurement, international relations and intellectual property.
