Course Description

Course Profile

The programme European and International Law (MA) HYBRID prepares highly qualified specialists for professional careers in an international, European and global environment. It is designed for graduates who wish to deepen their understanding of how law, institutions and public policies operate beyond the national level and to apply this knowledge in practice.

During the programme, students develop advanced knowledge of European Union law, public international law, human rights protection, international economic relations, and cross-border cooperation. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding how legal rules interact with political, economic and institutional processes in Europe and worldwide. Students also strengthen key practical skills, including legal analysis, problem-solving in international contexts, professional communication in English, negotiation, and work in multicultural teams.

The European and International Law (MA) programme is organised around several thematic modules that give students a deep and practical understanding of law and governance in a European and global context.

Main modules and thematic areas:

• European Union Law and Policies – institutions, decision-making and key EU policies
• Public International Law and Global Governance – international organisations, diplomacy and dispute settlement
• Human Rights and the Rule of Law – European and international protection systems
• International Economic and Business Law – trade, competition, banking and market regulation
• Comparative and Constitutional Studies – constitutional systems and governance models
• Cross-Border Cooperation and Migration – legal and policy aspects of transnational challenges.

The programme places strong emphasis on practice-oriented learning, including:

• workshops and problem-solving sessions,
• case studies based on real international and EU disputes,
• team projects and simulations (e.g. negotiations, institutional decision-making),
• analysis of real legal documents and policy papers.

Teaching is based on modern methods, such as case-based learning, project work and interactive seminars.

The European and International Law (MA) programme does not grant regulated professional licences (such as attorney-at-law, judge or teacher qualifications). Instead, it provides advanced, non-regulated professional qualifications relevant to work in European, international and transnational environments, in line with the Integrated Qualifications System (ZSK).

• Policy Officer / Policy Analyst (public administration, EU-related institutions)

• Public Administration Specialist
• Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Specialist
• Legal Assistant / Junior Legal Consultant (in international or EU-oriented organisations)
• Project Coordinator (EU-funded and international projects)
• NGO Programme Officer
