General information
In period 3, students are presented with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge and specialize within the areas of Law and Economics they are most interested in. Period 3 is divided into 3 blocks of three weeks each. Students will follow 5 modules, which they will be able to select from a range of options available. Law and Economics capita selecta is designed in a way to allow students to immerse themselves in themes of ‘Competition Law and Regulation’, ‘Law and Finance’ and ‘Law and Technology’, though students are free to combine their interests.
The sixth module, which is compulsory, regards the Research and Thesis Trajectory (RTT), which is a course starting in period 1. This module is completed throughout the academic year and ends before starting to write the thesis in period 4. One week in period 3 is dedicated to the RTT and no capita selecta teaching is scheduled for that time. Each of the modules equals 2,5 ECTS.
Capita selecta modules allow students to develop knowledge and skills that are necessary to prepare them for a professional career. Thus, modules range in testing methods, often including practical assessments on highly relevant contemporary issues. For example, students might have to write a position paper, a case note, a blog, a policy advice paper or be tested on the basis of a presentation.
