Semester 1

In European and international tax law, the first semester is divided into two courses, one dealing with the fundamentals of EU VAT and one dealing with the fundamentals of European and international direct taxation. Both courses are structured around common themes and constitute vital building blocks for any master’s of European and International Tax Law graduate.

Semester 2

The course is adjusted every year depending on what issues that are topical.
