Information

Aim

The Summer School offers the opportunity to learn more about Law, Economics & Public Policy within an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective.

Admission

The courses are open in first priority to students in economics and in law at the University of Basel and students of European studies at the Europa-Institute.
Students from other universities can apply "sur dossier".
Inter-university exchange is welcome.

We strongly recommend law students to participate in the introductory law and economics course before following a second course.
"Fundamentals of Law and Economics" is offered every spring.

Level

All courses of our Summer School are especially designed for either students of Master level or students of Bachelor level.
Though there is the possibility for Bachelor students to participate in a Master level course according to the study conditions of the WWZ Basel.

Credits

The program will consist of twelve courses with 24 contact hours each. A standard course thus corresponds to 3 credit points. (A credit point accounts for 30 hours of student work.) To get the credit points the exam has to be written and passed!
