Innehåll

The overall aim of the course is for the students to attain basic knowledge of the EU legal system. The course begins with a presentation of the historical background of the EU and its institutional structure as well as a cursory overview of the common market. The character of sources of Union law and the legislative process are thereafter studied. Furthermore, the relationship between the legal system of the EU and those of the Member States will be the main focus of the course. All aspects of this course, including the examination, are conducted in English.

Undervisningens upplägg

The course includes some lectures but consists mainly of seminars where students in groups and together with a teacher discuss different topics of EU law. It is therefore necessary that students study assigned materials before each class, including cases, relevant EU legislation and textbook chapters and/or academic articles. Further instructions on the preparation requirements for each class will be handed out to the student at the beginning of the course. The course is taught in English and all materials used in the course are in the English language. A student who has been accepted and registered for the course has the right to teaching and guidance only during the term/academic year when he/she was accepted and registered. Transfers Students have the right to apply to have a previous education or experience evaluated for transfer of credits. For more information, see: www.umu.se/studentcentrum/regler_riktlinjer/index.html

On the written test the grades awarded are Fail (U), Pass (G) and Pass with distinction (VG). For the course as a whole the grade awarded are Fail (U), Pass (G) and Pass with distinction (VG). The grade for the course as a whole is based on the result of the written test. The appointed examiner may decide to use other forms of examination if required by particular circumstances. A student who has not received a passing grade on a test will be afforded an opportunity for re-examination. A student who has passed examination may not be re-examined.
