This postgraduate academic programme provides students with an in depth education in European law. The degree establishes a balance between providing knowledge of the core economic/social and the constitutional/institutional aspects of European law and allows for specialization in a number of areas of law which are fundamental to the European Union such as competition law, aspects of the law of the internal market, judicial protection among other. Graduates have privileged access to high level practice, national and international, and to a large number of positions requiring expertise in European Law. Many graduates of similar degrees have gone straight into high level employment with the European Institutions, often directly in the field of specialization on which they focused while pursuing the degree. Many have done the same with Maltese companies, while others have gone into employment with the government or parastatal bodies, often in their chosen field. Others have found that their already existing career has benefited. For those aiming for an academic career, the degree provides an excellent basis for the pursuit of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in law.
