Master's in Law – Specialization in International and European Law

Connecting the dots

Presentation

The Master’s in International and European Law offers students the opportunity to expand their legal knowledge in an area that is becoming increasingly essential considering world globalization, in which national boundaries are losing importance.

Operating within an increasingly transnational and globalized world requires legal knowledge that today is less focused on classical issues of public international law, and more on areas that focus on issues related to the internationalization of businesses and private/public transnational legal relationships, as well as human rights, humanitarian law and new developments in international criminal law. European integration is part of the new geopolitical environment. This explains the focus of the master’s on several areas of European Union law such as the freedom of movement of people and the European jurisdictional system. It is crucial for a lawyer to be familiar with the diverse and increasingly vast areas of International Law and European Union Law in order to successfully address the theoretical and practical challenges they face.

This master’s is taught in English.

Testimonials

This Master’s is ideal for anyone who wants to have a career with an international focus. The student has the opportunity to choose their curriculum path according to their own professional ambitions. As a student of this Master’s, I had the once-in-a- -lifetime opportunity to visit the European Court of Justice and to see a judgment taking place. Recently, I was recruited by Altice Portugal, and I am working with European Data Protection Law, and currently doing my Master’s thesis in this field. I strongly recommend this Master’s for those of you who, like me, have a thirst for knowledge which goes beyond national borders and who wants to be a jurist of XXI century.

O Mestrado em Direito Internacional e Europeu da NOVA School of Law demarca-se pela sua abordagem de temas atuais com uma perspetiva de futuro, possibilitando aos alunos a escolha dos tópicos que mais lhes interessam dentro da vasta oferta curricular. Devido aos vários protocolos assinados com a Faculdade, neste Mestrado tive a oportunidade de fazer o segundo semestre na Universidade de Ljubljana e de obter experiência profissional com um estágio curricular em Bruxelas. Uma vez que procurava um mestrado que se afastasse do percurso tradicional da advocacia e me preparasse para uma carreira num plano internacional, esta foi a escolha evidente!
