This is a well organised course, taught through high quality teaching materials, and administered in hard-copy and through an online support tool. As a general counsel working in continental Europe, I am convinced that this course is at the heart - if not is the heart - of EU competition law learning. It was a brilliant experience!

Course essentials
You will undertake a research project based on the teaching and learning completed in your PGDip course.
Please note students who upgrade to the MA award will have their PG Dip award revoked. This allows for the final MA award to be calculated using the module marks from the 120 credits of the PGDip previously taken and the mark for the MA dissertation. The revocation of the PG Dip award ensures marks are not double-counted across awards.
