European Criminal Justice in a Global Context

This Master's programme European Criminal Justice in a Global Context deepens the knowledge on EU criminal law and its interaction with national criminal justice systems. It is designed to prepare the student for today's dynamic, fast-changing and increasingly globalised legal environment. It intends to be an intellectual challenge as well as the platform for a legal career.

This LLM focuses on:

• the constitutional foundations for criminal justice in a Europeanised setting, including the fundamental rights dimension and the harmonisation of defence rights and safeguards;
• the effects and impact of EU law on domestic criminal justice and its relationships with administrative law enforcement in such areas as anti-money laundering, financial fraud and other serious cross-border offences;
• the different legal regimes for transnational enforcement cooperation and exchange of information, including the European Arrest Warrant and European Investigation Order;
• the relationships between national criminal justice and EU authorities such as Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office;
• the relationship between European criminal justice and its global context (external dimension).
