9 national and subnational correlate via concrete cases and wicked issues within the European territory (nation states, European Union and Council of Europe). You will gain insight into the multilevel aspects of European fundamental rights protection via such supranational, regional and national instruments. You will equally balance the domestic Three Branches – Legislature, Executive and Judiciary – in light of the increasing impact of supranational law. You will ultimately focus on the territorial structuring of political systems that distribute powers over different levels of government, and how a balance is found between regional or national autonomy, and overall cohesion. You can explore diversity from several perspectives and in different legal domains within the module ‘Diversity and Law’. We will do so by investigating together the role of legal professionals in tackling “wicked” societal problems (i.e. climate change, inequality, poverty, migration). You will study the interaction between genders, sexualities and the law by learning about feminist theory and jurisprudence, by analysing selected fundamental legal debates, and by studying the relevant legal framework in complex areas such as multi-parenthood. You will explore how combining an interdisciplinary approach with an analysis of administrative law, urban planning, consumer law, data protection law and human rights can contribute to turning cities into more inclusive and sustainable cities. You will also gain new insights into the essential field of international and European immigration and asylum law. The legal clinic in asylum or migration law will help you to understand better the implications of this complex area of the law in practice. If you wish to do a semester abroad, we have selected several privileged partners who offer fascinating courses that will enable you to deepen the expertise acquired in Antwerp.
