Our European Union Law MA is open to students who have previously completed the European Union Law Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) at distinction or merit level. Students on the MA course are required to write a dissertation under supervision. The European Union Law distance-learning programme covers a wide range of important EU Law topics, such as free movement of goods and people, competition law, anti-discrimination law, external relations and judicial review. You will gain an in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of the most important theoretical and practical aspects of EU law, with a particular emphasis on the Treaties of the European Union. This programme is generally studied by professionals alongside their full time work commitments.

Key benefits

  • Progression opportunity after the European Union Law PGDip. The MA course can be started within two years of finishing the PGDip.
  • Develop in-depth insight into European Union Law principles and practice.
  • Dissertation supervision by leading academics at King's College London.
  • Can be studied anywhere in the world.

Studying EU law at King’s College was a most rewarding and truly outstanding experience. The whole faculty is dedicated, welcoming and very keen to assist international students. The course is built up in such a way that people with less experience in EU law can build up the necessary skills to cope with the high intellectual and academic standards of King’s.
