Description

The EPLO announces that ELGS academic programs will be conducted  ON PREMISE unless there is a strong limitation for in situ presence. Online attendance is allowed under specific conditions.  

This uniquely designed and cutting-edge three year taught undergraduate degree program, also known as the ELGS degree, lies at the heart of the mission of the ELGS, which is to offer students an in-depth and interdisciplinary look at key issues of law and governance in the European Union. The program provides students a comprehensive understanding of the world of law and of contemporary governance, with a focus on the European Union. 

This pioneering program fills a gap in education about the EU, its laws, and how it is governed by providing students with a unique interdisciplinary background that will allow them to comprehend its complex reality and interrelated aspects. Students have the ability to combine 2 disciplines and follow the first two years the discipline of their primary choice i.e. the LLB in European law program and the last year the other i.e. the BA in European Governance program, or vice versa. This grants students the option of personalizing their studies as much as possible, depending upon what they hope to do in their future careers.

The BA in European Law and Governance Studies is created and supported by the expansive ELGS International Faculty network of over 100 legal and governance scholars and practitioners worldwide, the ELGS’ Partner Universities across Europe and the world, and the EPLO. Importantly, students of the program will be granted access to attend EPLO events on key themes in EU law and governance and to interact with renowned EU leaders and decision-makers. Students graduate with a clear understanding of the most up-to-date scholarly research in the field of European Governance, as well as the practical applications of the theoretical knowledge, and a solid professional network to support them in their career after the ELGS.

To whom it is addressed

This degree is ideal for students that:

  • seek positions in European and international institutions and bodies
  • aim to be national public administrators that work on an EU and international level
  • aim to pursue a career in the areas of public policy, public affairs, civil society organizations, and related sectors
  • are interested in further studies and specialization in governance, public policy, politics, and international relations
  • desire to be legal advisors working at cross-border levels within the EU

Program Benefits

This program enables students to better understand the current context, framework and long-term objectives of the EU in its mission for the full integration of member states, and also enables students a great degree of flexibility, mobility and personalization of their studies. Through the many partnerships of the ELGS, or by the Master 1,2 path of the ELGS students can further specialize in any of the specific subject areas of the program. 

Additionally, students will need to serve as interns in return for course credits, thus gaining invaluable on-the-job experience and building a professional network to support them after graduation. By the end of this program, students will be able to understand the origins of EU legal integration, its systems and framework, where the challenges lie, and where more work needs to be done.
