Forms of instruction

The course will be organized in the form of lectures which aim to be interactive. Students will receive the syllabus of the course before its start. The syllabus will contain reading materials for each class. Reading materials consist of mandatory and suggested sources. Mandatory sources consist of the assigned text book (see below), relevant primary and secondary EU law and cases (judgments) from the Court of Justise of the European Union. Suggested sources will be indicated accordingly. All assigned readings will be discussed in class. Students are expected to do the readings before class in order to allow for a sensible discussion. Guiding question or small fact patterns (case studies or exercises) will be included in the syllabus. One of the main objectives of the lectures is to put in practice all knowledge acquired through reading, hence there will be time allocated for exercise sessions.

24 contact hours: Lectures will be in the form of interactive seminars, in which the assigned reading materials will be discussed. Students are expected to present on assigned judgments. Knolwdge will be put in practice through discussion of fact patterns or case studies.

46 hours personnal work: This includes individual or work group necessary to prepare for exercises, presentations, and for the final exam.
