Every ELGU Bachelor student begins the same way.
Year 1 is entirely common, five shared courses each semester, covering the foundations of law, governance and European integration together. At the end of Year 1, students choose their path: the Law path, leading toward the LLB in Law, the Governance path, leading toward the BA in European Governance, or the combined route toward the BA in European Law and Governance Studies, which carries a Major in one direction and a Minor in the other. Year 2 keeps a shared core running alongside this first choice. From Year 3, the Law direction becomes a full two‑semester track of its own, and completing it, on top of the common first two years, leads to the LLB in Law, 180 ECTS in three years.
Through this structured combination of compulsory and elective modules, students unravel the complex process of European legal integration. The elective pool lets students deepen their expertise further, in areas such as EU commercial and competition law, data protection and technology law, or international dispute resolution and taxation.
The program also offers the opportunity to specialize in a national legal system through:
- ELGU's Master 1 pathway, or
- Study abroad at partner universities
- Optional Fourth Year (National Legal System). Students may pursue an optional fourth year of study in a national legal system, which may qualify them to sit the national bar exam. This option is offered only when at least five students select the same national law pathway.
