“The common feature of the English masters programmes is their innovative character. They all aim at the integration of European and international features in the study of the law. This international approach is to a great extent combined with an emphasis upon comparative law. For those seeking to work in a transnational environment and with an open eye to ‘Europeanisation’ and globalisation, the faculty of law is the place to be. The masters in this field are closely linked to the emphasis in the faculty research: the faculty staff is particularly strong in the areas covered by the English taught masters.”
