The International Business Law and Arbitration (IBLA) degree programme is designed to prepare highly qualified specialists in international business law and arbitration.
The study programme is based on four main thematic blocks:
1. General Courses
2. Business Law
3. Mediation & Arbitration
4. Special Courses (monographic lectures and tutorials)
Within the general courses, the student will acquire knowledge of, among others, the basics of jurisprudence, commercial law, arbitration law, international law, EU law (with particular emphasis on the common market), property law (including intellectual property law), contract law, private international law, and labour law.
Business Law is a group of issues covering the principles of conducting business activity in the EU, the principles of entrepreneurs’ operation on the capital market, the rules of public-private partnership, and the mechanisms governing the execution of contracts. Within this block, the student will also learn about the standards of human rights protection in business (with particular emphasis on personal data protection) and CSR.
In turn, the Mediation and Arbitration block will be devoted entirely to the resolution of international business disputes both between entrepreneurs as well as between the state and the investor.
Within the framework of the block, the student will master both the legal standards of mediation and arbitration and the skill of drafting contracts, which are the basis for the application of the above-mentioned methods.
The above-mentioned contents can be extended according to the student’s individual interests by a wide range of monographic lectures and seminars, constituting a group of the so-called Special Courses, and relating to very precise aspects of international economic law and arbitration (such as company law, business transactions, competition and consumer law, ethical and legal issues in investment arbitration, etc.).
The entire offer will be complemented by lectures given by visiting professors from the USA, China, and the EU.
