What You'll Learn
This course has three elements. The first examines the public law of the European Union: its central institutional features; its legal authority and how it is policed. The second considers the central fields of EU law governing people's lives within the European Union. These include the economic freedoms which provide for free movement within the European Union, EU citizenship and the euro. Finally, this course looks at those elements of EU law which particularly affect non EU citizens, both those living within the Union and those living beyond its borders.
