About SELA
The programme is developed in close dialogue with potential employers and provides you with knowledge that is vital if you wish to prepare for a professional career as a policy maker or practitioner in regional, governmental and EU agencies, working with issues related to the EU and EU regulation including social, cultural, and organisational aspects of the legal integration and development of the European Union.
The programme also prepares you for further academic studies related to the field of Sociology of European Law.
The programme will, to a large extent, be given as web-based distance-learning courses (see programme and courses). The web-based courses will be given through Lund University’s e-learning platform to which you will be given access once you have been admitted to the programme.
As a student you will be able to tailor your programme to suit your particular interests by choosing the research themes in the exercises and essays you write as well as through choosing elective courses during the second year of the programme.
Aims of the programme
The major objectives of the programme are to increase your ability to critically examine and evaluate the:
- democratic and cultural preconditions and development directions of the European Union and European integration processes
- commonalities and differences in socio-legal cultures and traditions in Europe
- impact of European legislation on Europe and its surroundings and how this relates to legal, cultural, religious and social differences within and among European states.
The programme will provide you with deepened, applied and specialised knowledge of the foundations and development directions of the European Union and European integration processes with the ultimate aim of producing graduates who, in their professional capacity, will be able to contribute to European integration locally, nationally and at European level and researchers who will be able to enlarge the understanding of the socio-legal processes behind the development of the European Union.
Degree
On successful completion of the programme students are awarded a Master of Science in Sociology of Law.
