EU Law and Litigation (in English)

Language: English.

 

The aim of the English language programme is to provide a deeper, more complex and practice-oriented knowledge of the mechanisms of law enforcement in the European Union than the basic courses. It does so in two ways: on the one hand, it provides a comprehensive and broad knowledge of the institutional and procedural aspects of EU law enforcement, and on the other hand, it offers the opportunity to study in depth the procedural system before the Court of Justice of the European Union and to acquire a practice-oriented knowledge of the relevant knowledge.

The part-time programme is intended for individuals already holding a law degree. The duration of the correspondent training is 2 semesters. Students will prepare their theses and take the final exam in the second semester of the training.

Each semester consists of a term-time, during which students attend to the lessons, and an examination period, during which students take their exams. The lectures take place on the same weekday each week, usually 2-3 times per month. A typical day consists of 6 lectures (6 × 45 min.) organized into 3 × 1.5 hours. Each course includes an exam during the examination period which can be either oral or written and provides the mark for that course (marks 1–5, where 1 means ”fails” and 5 means “excellent”).

The training is based on the common EU higher education framework and is credit-based, meaning that the LL.M. outcome is recognized worldwide.

Fee: HUF 230,000 / semester.

The training is scheduled to start in September 2024.
