The objective of this course is to facilitate the development of students January 15 for the summer term July 15 for the winter term
competence in both juristic and linguistic issues (especially in the language
of study: French, Spanish or Italian). In addition, the curriculum will provide
students with the opportunity to develop a high level of communicative
proficiency necessary for professionals who regularly deal with legal texts
written in a variety of different languages. The programme is orientated
towards the legal system of the European Community. This focus in turn
allows for direct comparisons to be drawn between the legal intricacies of
the European Union and the dynamic complexities of the multiple languages
used in the daily administration of the European Union. Alongside receiving
scholarly instruction in core linguistic concepts, the programme simultane-
ously instructs students in central issues of jurisprudence.
