The course examines the development of EU law, its sources, and the way it interacts with national legal systems. Students will gain insight into the functioning of the EU's main bodies, the legislative process, and the rights and obligations arising from EU membership. Through case studies and analysis of real-world scenarios, the discipline provides a comprehensive understanding of how EU law shapes political, economic, and social realities across member states.
