This course aims to

• enable students to reflect critically upon the basic principles and policies at the heart of European Competition law; 
• offer an understanding of how the law governs business practices that may restrict competition in economic markets through private and public enforcement; and
• equip students to analyse how competition law can curb anticompetitive activities and facilitate free competition.

Again, although precise assessment tasks will be determined by the visiting faculty and/or the course leader so as to ensure a proper alignment with CILOs and TLAs, few potential assessment tasks are specified below. Taking into account the nature of the subject and the duration of the course, the visiting faculty and/or the course leader will decide if the assessment will be wholly by coursework or by a combination of coursework and examination. The nature of examination (whether closed book or open book) will also be determined by the visiting faculty and/or the course leader. The exact assessment tasks will be notified to students at the beginning of the course.
