European Union law

A dual path

Preparation of students for responsibilities in relation to Europe or for the teaching-research profession through the development of co-supervision theses.
In its tradition, the “European Union Law” speciality welcomes a multinational public to prepare students for responsibilities in relation to Europe in their country or within the European institutions. It can be also for the preparation of the profession of teacher-researcher in their University of origin, especially through the development of joint theses.

At the end of the course, the holders of the “M2 European Union Law” diploma will have a rigorous and exhaustive knowledge of European construction law (in its institutional and material aspects). They can demonstrate a complete competence in legal issues concerning European integration, its challenges and its environment, and the ability to apply their knowledge and know-how for professional purposes.
