Oktatás célja

The aim of the course is to introduce students into the law of the European Union (EU). It starts with an overview of the sources of EU law and presents the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as well as the legal acts adopted on the basis of the Treaties. The course also puts emphasis on the fundamental principles of EU law, such as primacy or direct effect. It discusses current issues and challenges as well, including fundamental rights in the EU or the legal dimension of Brexit. The course expects students to be able to understand and interpret EU law in order to gain a better understanding of the policies in the European Union.
