General administrative tasks

This programme held in English language combines the fields of law, politics and economics and imparts students with a profound theoretical and practical knowledge. My master thesis in EU law is about the application of the fundamental freedoms in purely internal situations.

This programme consists of a legal and an economic part, which are about equally weighted. The focus of the legal part is public and private business law on the national as well as on the EU level. In the economic part, I did a specialisation in financial markets and financial services.
