Course content

The course contains both study and analysis of the economic and judicial bases of the common market. The focus is on the free mobility of goods, services, employees, companies and capital, and on the competition rules. This includes in-depth analyses and discussions of the interpretation methods and practices of the European Court of Justice.

Teaching and working methods

Teaching mainly takes the form of lectures and seminars. The seminars are mainly carried out in small groups, where there are substantial demands on the student's activity. The student is largely expected to apply self-study, based on the course material that is supplied in preparation for the seminars. In the seminars, the knowledge acquired through self-study should be strengthened, developed and advanced through reviews and discussions.

Examination

The course is examined through submission of an independent essay, to be presented orally. In addition, examination takes place through written individual examination.

If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it. If the coordinator has instead recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus.

The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
