What you study Although the core themes of the course are European and Commercial law these are not discrete entities. Within the EU the move to ever greater integration naturally impacts upon and changes the domestic legal systems of all member states. By studying with us you will build on the domestic perspective you arrived with to achieve a deeper understanding of how drivers of change feed through from the EU level to implementation in member state domestic legal systems. Specialist subjects of study include; EU Labour Law, Information Communication Technology Law, EU Competition Law, Lawyers and Legal Services in the EU, Investor Protection Law and EU Justice and Home Affairs. “Studying at Abertay was an unforgettable and useful adventure for me. I was able to study EU law in a country with a unique legal system and I gained knowledge that can be used all over Europe. The degree itself is also often sufficient evidence of proficiency in English.” Alicia, Germany How you learn and are assessed We aim to provide you with a stimulating, intellectually rigorous and challenging educational experience. To achieve this we facilitate, through interactive lectures, seminars and tutorials, your acquisition of essential subject specific knowledge and develop your ability to think critically about what you have learnt. We use a variety of assessment methods to enable you to demonstrate that you have achieved the programme’s learning outcomes. These include: examinations, courseworks, oral presentations and group work. We also do this because we know that enhancing personal transferable skills such as the ability to undertake high-level research, present your findings confidently in both oral and written form and work as part of a team is just as important for your future employability as the subjects you study. “At Abertay students from different EU Member States came together to study the legal principles that connect us all. Having a degree from a different country also underlines ones flexibility for future employees” Alicia, Germany

I am working as a trainee investigator at the Consumer Protection Department of the Hungarian Competition Authority. Interesting job and the best place to develop my professional knowledge in the area of competition law. Thanks to my professors and of course thanks for my good friends from the Abertay! It was a pleasure to study together. I hope we are going to meet some time again in Dundee!” Anna, Hungary
