Title of the Masters Course:
EMTTLF - European Master's in Transnational Trade Law Finance

Duration: 2 years

Course description:
The course in Transnational Law and Finance contains 120 ECTS credits that the students will
follow in two academic years and in three of the four participating institutions.
The Programme offers one year of core courses, which provide the fundamental competencies
at an advanced level, needed to be able to confront trans-national trade cases. The itinerary is
built in a complementary manner starting with the University of Deusto that will focus on the
European set up, and moving forward to a more comparative and worldwide approach in the
case of Tilburg.
1st Component. (Deusto)
In relation to methodology this semester sets the bases of problem solving and analytical
thinking at an advanced level counting on the cooperation and relevant case studies offered by
representatives of International Organizations dealing with experience in the field of
international transactions.
In relation to the contents developed, the Master begins offering a view of the main
achievements of those Organizations as well as an analysis of the main European Union
Instruments in Private International Law relevant for Trans-national Trade.
2nd component. (Tilburg)
During this period, the students move from the European level to the International context. The
international and comparative focus prepares them for working in international and emerging
markets. Also they begin having an option that prepares them to choose the specialization in
the coming year.

For the second year three specialization areas offered: Law and Finances in the Institute of Law
and Finance in Frankfurt University and European Business Law and Industrial and Intellectual
Property in the Robert Schumann Strasbourg University.

The Programme presents therefore two important elements:
The core courses that must be followed by all the students. This part of the Master offers every
European or non-European student the necessary tools for the analysis of Trans-national trade
operations.

The specialization in which the students can choose and the professional or research path.
The course also offers linguistic and thematic preparatory courses.
3rd Component: Specializations.
The third component gives the students the possibility of deepening their knowledge in three
different fields of study, European Business Law; Finance, and Industrial and Intellectual
Property.

The students, that will be able to choose between the professional and research path, will be
divided in three groups that will follow 60 ECTS either in Frankfurt or in Strasburg.
4th Component: Research/internship

The forth semester includes the forth component of the Programme: Research/internship
According to prior experience and future professional paths, master students will be able to
choose the balance between two elements.

The research component aims at professionals able to:
·Elaborate innovative solutions to the problems.
·Approach reality with creative thinking
·Analyse data and asses results
