The aim of the course is for the students to attain basic knowledge of the EU legal system. The course begins with a presentation of the historical background of the EU and its institutional structure. The character of sources of Union law, the legislative process and the relationship between the legal system of the EU and those of the Member States are thereafter studied. Completing the course gives access to the advance level courses Kommersiell EU-rätt and Konstitutionell EU-rätt.
As a citizen of a country outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you are required to pay application and tuition fees for studies at Umeå University.
