Abstract

The course will give you a thorough understanding of the basics of the European Union, its institutions and its legal framework. It will cover a wide array of topics, ranging from the history of the EU to the constitutional dynamics that govern the relationships between the Union and the Member States. Of course, principal subjects relevant for doing business in Europe, such as the economic freedoms will be dealt with in some detail. The course is divided into five modules, each module representing about one week. Lectures and in-video quizzes are the main method of teaching. In order to give you an overview and ease your learning, we have included a reading for each lecture. In these you will find more in-depth information about the legislation mentioned in the lecture, case law, recommended readings, online sources and more. Each module finishes with a graded quiz. Please note that Module 4 also contains a peer graded assignment in addition to the quiz. https://www.coursera.org/learn/european-law-fundamentals?

Learning Objectives

The course’s objectives are numerous but its main purpose is to provide students with the necessary tools to understand and analyze the nature, role and effects of EU Law, regulation, proceedings and decision-making. To that end, the first sessions will lay the necessary grounds, that is, introduce historical aspects of the European integration, emergence of EU law, its general principles, main actors and an overview of general institutional design. Largely, half of the course is dedicated to EU Business Law and regulation of various economic aspects, such as EU internal market, EU external economic relations, energy relations, mega-regional integration, and Brexit.
