Course aims
Students will develop an understanding of the core constitutional structures and administrative mechanisms of the European Union. These will be developed in detail in the context of individual presentations that concern current issues, such as cases before the EU or national [constitutional] courts, legislative proposals, or implementation issues and administrative and procedural mechanisms of the EU. The research tasks will develop the students’ research skills, and presentations will give students further experience in public speaking.
