Introduction

Promoted jointly by the LUISS School of Government and and LUISS School of Law, this second level advanced master focuses on European Union (EU) legal, institutional and policy issues.

This program is jointly directed by Prof. Angela Del Vecchio, Full Professor of EU Law at LUISS Department of Law, and Prof. Sergio Fabbrini, Director of the LUISS School of Government and Full Professor of Political Science at the LUISS Department of Political Science.
