Welcome
This Master's programme focuses on environmental law in
transboundary contexts. Environmental law has become
increasingly transboundary in character, as reflected in the
development of EU and international environmental law on
issues such as climate change and the protection of human
health, watercourses, marine areas, nature and biodiversity
– all matters that are part of this programme. The programme
also considers the development of general notions and
principles of environmental law and governance, and includes
comparative elements. Moreover, it highlights crosscutting
areas such as Environmental Law, Trade and Corporate
Responsibility, Environmental Law, Cimate and Energy,
Environmental Law and Human Rights and Environmental Law and
Socio-ecological Resilience.
The first half of the programme consists of two courses (ten
weeks each): one in environmental law across state borders;
and one with in-depth studies in the mentioned crosscutting
areas. The forms of teaching in these two courses differ (classes,
seminars, short essays and practical assignments, and
teaching by external lecturers and experts), but the courses
generally require active participation by the students. In
the second half of the programme, while writing a master’s
thesis, the students also participate in seminars and take
part in a comprehensive mock-negotiation on a current
environmental matter, where they learn how to apply
practically their theoretical skills.
