European Law

This Master’s programme on Law and Sustainability in Europe discusses how the EU and its Member States respond to challenges related to the sustainability transition. It approaches the role of Europe and its legal regimes, especially EU law, in an international setting. But it also teaches students how national law can play an essential role in implementing European law on sustainability. This unique dual approach is the core feature of this new Master’s programme.
Do you want to gain knowledge about legal principles and instruments to create truly sustainable economies and societies at the European and national levels? Are you interested in how liability law is used in climate litigation and which new legal concepts are being discussed to stop biodiversity loss? Do you want to become a legal expert who contributes to saving the planet and improving the quality of life for current and future generations? If so, our one-year Master’s in Law and Sustainability in Europe sounds right for you!

This Master's programme covers the interplay between law and technology in Europe and teaches students about the legal challenges resulting from digitalisation. This thought-provoking Master’s dives deep into the fascinating digital and societal developments that are raising new questions at the intersection of law, regulation and technology. As a student on the programme, you will examine the role played by the EU as it looks to regulate and police these technologies, and whether Europe’s laws are ‘future-proof’ enough to withstand continuing technological innovation and change.
During the Master's in Law and Technology in Europe, you will:

* Study the evolving relationship between law and technology, while crossing the boundaries of ‘classical’ subsystems of law.
* Explore how digital advancements impact different actors within society and study the possibilities and pitfalls of potential legal responses.
* Examine the multilevel legal order of the EU and its growing role in shaping the regulatory response to technological developments
* Anticipate future developments in technology and digital innovation, and potential EU responses.
