Learning unit contents
[COURSE IN ENGLISH]
Within a limited number of lessons, this course provides students with a general description of the essential features of the institutional law of Belgium. Topics that will be considered include monarchic and parliamentary principles, the various organs of the Belgian federal State, and the relationships that these organs develop with one another.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of this course is to familiarize non-Belgian students (and, in principle, non-Francophone students) with the key principles of Belgian public law and, in particular, with its peculiarities. These peculiarities should be of specific interest to participants to the course, who at the end of their Erasmus stay will return to their respective countries of origin to pursue their legal studies.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face delivery. In addition, a one hour conference will be given on the last lesson. The course schedule will be provided in due time (available on the Law Faculty web site). Attendance at lessons is highly recommended.
Recommended or required readings
The course material is essentially the content of the oral course.
Since this course will be given in English for the first year, a syllabus is under construction. The chapters will be made available as the year progresses (through E-Campus). These, as well as the oral course, are an integral part of the examination subject. In addition, the teacher will transmit the slides of the PowerPoint presentation as the lessons progress.
In addition, a collection of legal texts in English is also available through E-Campus.
Assessment methods and criteria
The evaluation, which will take place in January, consists of an oral exam in English. Students shall bring the collection of legal texts in English available on ORBi.
