| Administrative Law is considered a branch of Public Law. Administrative Law is the body of Law that governs the activities of Administrative Agencies of Government or local authorities.
It deals also with dispute settlements. Administrative Law expanded greatly as legislative bodies created more Government Agencies. In Belgium the Federalisation of the State gave birth to new legislative bodies and therefore to new Agencies, Tasks and Regulations. As a body of Law, Administrative Law deals with Law and Order, Environmental Law, Town and Country Planning Law, Educational Law, Public Procurements, Municipalities an local Government, Dispute Resolution and Judicial Review... This course concerns the principles applicable in all matters of Administrative Law and an introduction to the rules in key area. Numerous courses of administrative Law focusing on peculiar administrative matters (as public procurements, civil service, town and country planning, environment, local authorities, social care...) are available during the Master in Law.
