欧洲法律

An in-depth knowledge and understanding of EU law is now more essential than ever for anyone considering a career in law, business, politics or policy within the UK, EU or beyond.

EU law is a complex and fascinating subject that weighs ever more heavily on policymaking in the UK, Europe and internationally. This programme is designed to equip you with the knowledge and understanding of European law required for any future legal career.

The world-leading scholars teaching in the LLM and the richness of the course offering are distinctive features of this programme. The European Law LLM in Edinburgh constitutes one of the best post-graduate taught choices for people interested in EU law. EU law remains particularly important for the UK too. The UK’s departure from the EU raises complex questions, with a possible special status for Scotland (or even renewed calls for independence) adding a further layer of complexity. Even after the so-called Brexit, EU law remains relevant to lawyers in the UK not only when they are dealing with pre-Brexit questions, but also because the future of the EU-UK relationship is likely to be heavily influenced by it. Against that background, the importance of advanced knowledge in EU law to employment in the public and private sectors will only increase.
