• Understand the main legal processes and instruments across its different policy fields such as EU external action, neighbourhood and enlargement policy, including different degrees of association with the EU
• Recognize and assess the legal dimension of political, economic and social issues of European transformation and integration that are addressed in the other courses of the program and the master thesis.
• Apply the main norms and principles of EU law to specific situations, such as case problems and in negotiations.
