• Expert instructors: Courses are taught by expert staff with an international reputation as well as by guest lecturers who hold senior positions with legal firms, international courts or business organisations.
• Moot court skills: You will have the possibility of participating in the European Law Moot Court (ELMC), the most renowned competition in the field of EU law. 
• Study trip: We plan each year (circumstances allowing) a study trip to Luxembourg and Brussels to visit the European Commission and the European Court of Justice.
• Additional workshop on Digital Regulation: You will have the opportunity to participate in an extended practice-oriented workshop on the current state of global digital regulation and on its further development.
