Location of The University of Edinburgh
The interdisciplinary ethos of the Europa Institute also provides a unique environment for advanced study of EU law in its political and economic contexts; we offer courses in the Law School on both policy implications and applied economics, and we have links with courses offered by our colleagues in the School of Social and Political Studies. We also involve legal practictioners and policy-makers working at the highest levels of the development of EU law in our LLM teaching, thereby offering our students a broad range of perspectives on EU law and practice.
What our graduates say ...
"Inspiring classes taught in an international atmosphere and a beautiful city provided me with one of the best years in my life and proved to be a valuable asset in my later job in an international law firm." Sebastian Reinsch, LLM in European Law 2003
"The LLM in European Law has equipped me with skills I need for the European Commission where I am currently working as a trainee: a thorough knowledge of European Law and a broad range of interesting perspectives offered by lawyers and prominent public figures. The opportunity to meet these people combined with the attention students receive from committed and caring academic staff has been a highly valuable experience which can enrich the career/life of any ambitious and intellectually curious person." Mina Andreeva, LLM in European Law
