The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the core of law of the European Union's internal market. The course is based on two main pillars: firstly, an introduction to the four freedoms and secondly, competition law. These constitute the foundation of the economic and social order of the European Union. The course deals in detail with the free movement of goods (financial and quantitative restrictions), the free movement of persons, the freedom of establishment, the free movement of services. The free movement of capital and financial services are also addressed. In the final part, the course gives an introduction to competition law including, cartel agreements and concerted practices, the abuse of a dominant position, state monopolies, state aid and the enforcement of competition law. Important components include:
- The history and rationale of the internal market, its legal developments CJEU case law.

- Free movement of establishment and services, including diploma recognition of professionals.
- EU citizenship and rights of third country nationals in this context.
- Competition law, including anti-competitive agreements and abuse of a dominant position.
