This minor equips students, as both citizens and future EU law experts, with the knowledge and skills to shape EU law as a force for positive change in an increasingly turbulent world. 

What students learn

The minor in EU Law and Politics provides students the knowledge, language, and critical vision to understand how EU law works, develops, and is shaped by values, interest groups, states, and geopolitical forces. It also explores the hidden biases and injustices within the law. 

Through an interdisciplinary approach, students engage with key areas of EU law, and debates within them, including the internal market, criminal and competition law, external relations law, consumer protection, anti-discrimination law, and environmental regulation. The minor also strengthens legal analysis, communication in English, and persuasiveness, culminating in a moot court exercise for more practical EU law experience.
