- in an independent and qualified way analyse the implications and effects of relevant legal rules,

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 special circumstances prevail, and if it is possible with consideration of the nature of the compulsory component, the examiner may decide to replace the compulsory component with another equivalent component.

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 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.

An examiner may also decide that an adapted examination or alternative form of examination if the examiner assessed that special circumstances prevail, and the examiner assesses that it is possible while maintaining the objectives of the course.

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.

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

If special circumstances prevail, the vice-chancellor may in a special decision specify the preconditions for temporary deviations from this course syllabus, and delegate the right to take such decisions.
