Summary of content

This module provides the student with the opportunity of an in-depth study of the substantive law of the European Union and its enforcement at domestic and European level. Topics covered include free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, equal treatment of men and women in employment, EU citizenship rights, and protection of undistorted competition, enforcement issues and remedies. This is underpinned with an examination of the institutions and law-making processes of the EU.

The role of lawyers in society is changing - lawyers are increasingly expected to be pro-active in the prediction and prevention of unethical as well as unlawful behaviour across all areas of society. The delivery of the module will embed PRME principles including: developing graduates who care about social responsibility; developing learning and teaching which enables graduates to become responsible leaders and practitioners; and developing graduates who will advise businesses and other stakeholders to explore mutually beneficial responses to social and legal challenges.
