The University offers English courses at different levels to assist students in meeting the required standard for admission to a graduate programme.

Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam, papers, and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, weekly interactive activities, projects, positive online forum participation etc.

Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam, papers, and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.

The student must complete 90 ECTS and all programme requirements.

A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-‘ is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.

Upon successful completion of this program, the students should be able to:

1. Generate theoretical and empirical analysis, case-analysis, project-setting and problem-solving contexts in an interdisciplinary context, and in the existing supranational and global regulatory/legislative framework on the new/emerging/digital technologies’ ecosystem.
2. Identify and evaluate priority issues of technology regulation at national, supranational, international, and transnational level
3. Broadening the knowledge on the “LegalTech” spectrum
