Jean Monnet Chair ad personam of European Constitutional Law and Globalization

Faculty of Law at the University of Granada

The Postgraduate and Official Master in European Constitutional Law is simultaneously a Doctoral Programme and an Official Master of the Faculty of Law at the University of Granada. As a Doctoral Programme, it allows students to carry out their Doctoral studies in one academic course and to obtain the sufficient research experience in order to elaborate the Doctoral Thesis and to obtain the Title of Doctor of Law (Ph.D. in Law).

The Postgraduate and Official Master have obtained the Mention of Quality from the Ministry of Education and Sciences. A Mention of Quality is a nationally recognized honour granted to programmes that meet specific conditions of quality.

The Postgraduate and Official Master are taught within the framework of the Jean Monnet Chair of European Constitutional Law and the “ad personam” Jean Monnet Chair of European Constitutional Law and Globalization, both directed by Professor Francisco Balaguer Callejón. The programme of study integrates not only topics related to the European Constitutional Law, but also those topics concerning the process of supranational integration in other geographic areas, such as the supranational projection of Constitutional Law in the context of globalization.

The professors of the Official Master and Postgraduate include Jean Monnet Chairs on various issues and a great number of visiting professors from other universities in different countries (Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, Brazil, United States). In the academic course 2010-2011, and within the framework of the Jean Monnet Chair “ad personam” of European Constitutional Law and Globalization, the programme has successfully incorporated the participation of visiting professors from non-EU Member-States (Brazil, USA, Mexico) and new courses on the interrelationships between supranational integration and globalization, from a constitutional perspective or on general subjects of similar topics within the courses previously offered.

The Official Master in European Constitutional Law is directed by Francisco Balaguer Callejón, Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Granada and Jean Monnet Chair and is coordinated by the Secretary of the Master, José María Porras Ramirez, Professor of Constitutional Law. In the previous editions, the Master and Doctoral Programmes were realized by students with very different geographic origins: Spain, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Iceland, Montenegro, Romania, Japan, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Peru and Morocco, among other countries.

The Official Master and Postgraduate (Programme of Doctorate) can be completed in one year, after earning 60 ECTS credits, of which 40 correspond to classroom instruction and 20 to research, which requires the elaboration and preparation of a dissertation. Students of Law, Political Science and Sociology, Translation and Interpretation, Journalism and other similar disciplines can study the Master.

All classes will take place between November and May during the school year (teaching stops at the Christmas holidays and Easter, as well as holidays established by the University of Granada). The training sessions are always held in the afternoon, from Monday to Thursday. Normally on Friday afternoon there are organized seminars given by visiting professors.

The research part of the course is based on a supervised research topic chosen in accordance with the tutor. The dissertation should be presented at the September session or in December in order to obtain the research capacity that allows carrying out the Doctoral Thesis and obtaining the Official Master's Degree from the University of Granada. Students from other countries can make the presentation of their dissertation by videoconference.

For several years now the Master has been taught in Spanish and in English, depending on the demand for courses in that language.
