35th Summer Course in EU Law: 20 June - 29 June 2022
Booking for the Summer Course 2022 is now open, if you would like to attend please visit our E-store.
Course Content and Structure
The course is an advanced course in European Law and is most suited to those with a prior knowledge of European Union law. It is also suitable for anyone at postgraduate level working in a law-related environment with an interest in European Union law.
Though applicants with an academic background in law are ideal, this is not an essential pre-requisite to take part. The course is aimed at deepening and/or updating previous knowledge in EU Law. Each lecture will deal with certain selected issues which the lecturer deems of current relevance. The areas will therefore not be covered comprehensively, but selectively. The course is therefore also not suited to those who seek to further their doctoral studies in a particular area.
Certificate
After completion of the course a certificate of attendance is awarded if at least 85% of the classes have been attended. An attendance sheet will be filled out for every day of the course.
Application numbers are capped, to ensure a high quality experience for attendees. Early registration is advised.
Please note, this course is not suitable for students at undergraduate level.

Group size and composition
The size of the summer course group is variable, we aim to have a maximum of 35 students. Students come together from the UK and continental Europe with occasional visitors from overseas continents. The student group ranges from recent graduates to experienced practitioners, a variety that is also reflected in the age range.
The diversity of the group composition has always proved to be a very fruitful basis for the exchange of ideas and experiences, and everyone will leave the course with new contacts or even new friends.
Social activities
The Summer Course is devised as an intensive course, so integrated social group activities are kept to a minimum in order to leave each individual with choices for their spare time.
There are two drinks receptions hosted by the Centre of European Law, one on the first day of the course and the second on the last day. These are very popular and well attended, as it gives everybody the opportunity to meet fellow students, lecturers and organisers for the first time in a social context and to reflect about the course and to say good bye.
The Centre will hold a course dinner, which is included in your course fee. You will also have the opportunity to attend the CEL Annual Lecture and dinner.
Library & Internet access
You will be asked to enrol online before you attend the summer course. Completing enrolment will enable us to produce your student ID card which is essential to have whilst on Campus and to visit the library. Enrolment will also give you online access to various services at King's.
Location
The Summer Course in EU Law has run since 1987.
It is the only regular course that the Centre runs from the King's College campus and often features as the final annual highlight in the busy academic calendar of the Centre's activities.
The sessions will be held on the main King's College campus at the Strand.
The Strand is one of the most famous streets in London, linking the City with the West End. If you walk into the Eastern direction you will reach Fleet Street, where you will find some of the UK's most prestigious legal institutions. The Royal Courts of Justice, as well as the Inns of Court are all within walking distance and well worth a visit during your stay.
Towards the west, The Strand will lead you to Trafalgar Square with Buckingham Palace and the Government Buildings around Downing Street further along. To the South you will find the River Thames lined with galleries and historic attractions along the South Bank whereas to the North the theatres, shops and cafés await your visit in lively Covent Garden.
