Would you like to become an expert in Private European Law?

13/06/16

The Jean Monnet Chair of the Faculty of Law of Barcelona University (UB) has launched for next year a new diploma in Private European Law (see folder) with the support of the European Commission. The programme, which will be taught during the second semester of the academic year 2016-2017, is divided into the following modules:

Module 1. History of European Integration and the constitutional framework of Private Law (Prof. L. Huici)

Module 2. Competition Law (Profs S. Rating and Y. Martínez –that’s us, indeed ;-))

Module 3. How Private Law has become European (Profs. E. Arroyo and G. Garriga)

Module 4. European consumer law of contracts (Profs. M. Anderson, L. Arnau and M. Navarro)

Module 5. Workshop on applied legal analysis and report drafting

The course will be eminently practical, i.e. aiming at providing a useful tool for the practice of Private Law to recent graduates and/or professionals at the beginning of their careers. The course stands out among the academic offer in Barcelona because:

– as regards content, there is no equivalent academic offer in town;

– the learning method will consist in case studies and debate with the students;

– to allow professionals to attend, it will be taught in the evening (18-21h) two days a week; and

– academic professionals and private practitioners will be teaching.

To sum up, if you think that your studies lacked a deeper course in European Union Law and/or once in a job you realised that the EU is more relevant than you thought it would, then this is a course for you. The first registration period is now open. We are waiting for you!
