1. Exciting Law Electives for Semester 2, 2015
LAW4161 Introduction to European Union Law
Introduction to EU Law gives students an overview of the law of the European Union, the most successful supranational legal order in the world. With 28 Member States, the EU’s legal order touches on almost all areas of national competence, from competition to consumer protection, social policy and the environment.
-
The unit is very different from the majority of law subjects offered at Monash, providing an opportunity to study a legal subject not focused on Australia.
-
The unit is suitable for students hoping to expand their knowledge of transnational and international systems of law in order to enhance their career opportunities and to work at international institutions.
-
It is also useful for students who are simply keen on making use of the legal rights associated with a passport of an EU Member State, for the purposes of extended European travel!
-
The unit offers an international and comparative perspective on a unique transnational legal system and insights into an exciting and rapidly developing discipline.
