Higher Education in Flanders

The European Legal Studies Programme provides students with an in-depth education in European law, the teaching methods being similar to those used in North American law schools. The programme establishes a balance between the economic and the constitutional aspects of European law. Despite the increasing complexity of European law, the legal studies programme adopts a global and contextual approach. It should be noted that the programme is particularly demanding and requires extensive individual preparation in advance of each class. In the first semester, students take four compulsory courses covering four main topics: the Four Freedoms, the European Institutions / constitutional law of the European Union, Community Litigation and Competition Law, the latter running throughout the academic year. In the second semester, students take a compulsory course on the external relations of the European Union or on competition law in the public sector and choose three seminars from a list of twenty-one options. On a strictly optional basis compact seminars are also offered in the second semester which explore, in greater detail, many of the areas covered in the core curriculum. In addition, students are required to write a Master's Thesis in the framework of one of these three course choices. They also take part in the European General Studies Programme.
