EU Law at Liverpool

Description

EU Law at Liverpool is committed to advancing a critical understanding of the European Union. With a wealth of expertise across diverse areas of EU law and policy, it is one of the oldest and largest centres for research into the law of the European Union in the UK.

The centre has a long-standing tradition of publishing leading academic research, organizing significant national and international scholarly collaborations, and producing world-class impact for the benefit of policy-makers, civil society organizations, and the wider public. Its expertise spans a wide range of fields, including EU institutional and constitutional law, legal relations between the EU and its member states, the Internal Market (including competition law), the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, and the EU's relationship with the UK.

In response to public demand for clearer and improved information about the EU, some of the centre's members contributed their expertise to the public debate following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. As individuals who have worked closely with the EU for many years, they are able to provide independent, evidence-based information and analysis in a way that is accessible to interested members of the public as well as more specialist audiences.

EU Law at Liverpool welcomes queries from prospective postgraduate research (PGR) students interested in pursuing an LLM (by research) or MPhil / PhD. Prospective PGR students are encouraged to discuss possible research topics and fields with the centre's Co-Directors and other staff members by contacting them directly. They are also welcome to browse the Liverpool Law School web pages on PhD Research.

The centre's members offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules to Liverpool Law School students, drawing on their individual research interests. The LL.B degree includes a mandatory module on European Union law. Additionally, EU Law at Liverpool members deliver a range of optional modules in key areas of EU law and policy, including Contemporary Issues in EU Migration Law, EU Competition Law, and Asylum and Immigration Law.
