Helene, Master’s student European Private Law 2023/2024
I wanted to further specialise my legal education without being confined to a specific field. The EPL programme offered the perfect balance by focusing on the EU regulation of private relationships while still providing flexibility in thesis topics and a broad range of available courses. What I found particularly inspiring was the way professors kept the course content up-to-date, especially regarding sustainability and technological developments. For instance, classic consumer protection law was studied with a focus on the online consumer. In addition, professors actively discussed and shared their research fields with students. This approach not only enhanced my learning experience but also broadened my understanding of both EU law and comparative private law. The programme has equipped me with excellent research skills, making me well-prepared for both legal practice and institutional work.
Rodney, Master’s student European Private Law 2023/2024
'The European Private Law program allowed me to explore different legal systems and deepen my understanding of EU legislation. I particularly enjoyed learning about developments in EU law and identifying similarities across various European legal frameworks. This program provided me with essential tools to become a better lawyer, especially as EU law continues to play an increasingly influential role in Europe and the rest of the world. Gaining expertise in European Private Law has enhanced my analytical skills and will undoubtedly support my future career.'
Yannic, Master’s student European Private Law 2018/2019
‘European Private Law exposed me to interesting discussions on various aspects of EU and national legislation and also provided unique insights into legal theory, politics, and policy-making. The programme helped me become a more complete lawyer each course encouraged us to engage in critical analysis of the legal issues at hand and the solutions offered at law rather than just monotonously study legal provisions. This working method was possible because we were taught in small groups by engaged lecturers who really cared about each student’s development.’
