The curriculum is developed by academics from six leading UK law schools (Queen Mary, LSE, UCL, King’s College, SOAS, and Birkbeck), known as the Laws Consortium, ensuring a high level of academic rigor and international perspective. The program is taught at EUB by faculty members with international teaching experience, further enriching the learning experience of the students.
