ABOUT PROGRAMME
The Union University Law School Belgrade now enrols a new generation of students into its master programme in Contemporary Legal Studies (CLS)
The CLS Master Programme is designed both for the recent graduates and experienced professionals, who wish to broaden their knowledge and skills in law, giving the special emphasis on the contemporary issues. It strives to provide students with legal knowledge that will enable them to set, discuss and evaluate issues, select relevant materials, build arguments pertaining to law, policy, existing practice, and development.
The CLS Master Programme offers maximum flexibility, enabling students to tailor the studies to meet their own academic and professional interests and needs in a broad range of areas of public law. Namely, students are free to choose their academic track from the list of optional courses the CLS offers. The list of optional courses includes Law and Politics, Principles of Good Governance, Contemporary Dispute Resolution and Mediation, Taxation and Public Policy, EU Private Law, Theory of Human Rights and Equality, International Human Rights Law Seminar, Health and Human Rights, Privacy Rights and Law of Information, Selected Topics in Property Law, and Law in Film and Literature Seminar. Apart from master thesis, the only mandatory course is in legal writing and research. Also, students are required to obtain practical experience in a public entity of their choosing. This joint mandatory core will both provide them with the relevant legal research and writing skills and an ability to apply their knowledge and skills in practice.
