Inhoud

This course is situated in the broader context of educational innovation at the VUB.

Content-wise, this course concerns the different ways in which law can be conceptualized and the specific role that law plays in the EU financial system - this knowledge is necessary for the Master thesis and engages the student in critical thinking. Also, the course will involve the examination of the concept of money (from different perspectives) and the legal status of this concept in the EU. Moreover, current developments in the financial sector like FinTech and Sustainable Finance shall be introduced and post-crisis financial legislation shall be looked into. 

The examination of this course consists out of two formal elements:

  • Individual assignment (5000 words)
  • Group assignment (2500 words)
  • Participation during the virtual classroom is noted but not formally assessed
