European Union and Funds

The European Union plays a silent but very important role in our lives. Sometimes, especially in crisis time, the working of the EU is more apparent, but how does the EU work, what does it do and how do outsiders view the EU? Those questions and many more will be answered in this course. To give an overview what this course is about the following key words:

European Union
EU Law
EU Agricultural policy
EU and the world

A trip to Brussels and a stay there during one night is part of this course.
