Besides that, the Institute of European Law is intensively involved in the apprenticeship offered by the Institute of Multimedia Diploma in Legal Studies. The courses offered by the Institute of European Law cover both, the law of the European Union – including institutional and substantive law – as well as the legal regulations of other European Organizations. The Institute’s research is focused on all aspects of institutional and substantive law with a focus on European economic and internal market law. Being based on the principle of research-led teaching, it verifies scientifically the content of academic teaching and contributes enormously to the advancement of the structure and dogmatics of the European Law. Moreover, the conducted research supplies answers to questions resulting from current political affairs and serves as legal advice for EU Law related issues.
