Law fostering sustainability and sustainable development is one of the fastest-developing, most challenging legal disciplines, and the EU has become a key global actor in this field. This Master’s programme on Law and Sustainability in Europe discusses how the EU and its Member States respond to challenges related to the sustainability transition in a globalised context. It approaches the role of Europe and its multi-layered legal regimes (including EU law) in an international setting. But it also teaches students how national law can play an essential role in implementing European law on sustainability. This unique dual approach is the core feature of this Master’s programme.

In this programme, you will: 

  • study one of the fastest-developing and most challenging legal disciplines;
  • acquire essential knowledge on EU sustainability policy and law, and learn from the Member States’ experiences in implementing EU and international regulatory instruments;
  • gain a solid understanding of the implications and effects of the legal framework on policy goals;
  • gain knowledge on how to approach sustainability in a multi-dimensional way to become a ‘sustainable’ regulator and enforcer or the sustainability law expert of a company or law firm; and 
  • acquire insight into the European legal regimes of climate protection, natural resources law and sustainable water management.
