Students tell us their experience in our European Climate Law course

Bachelor’s Degree in Law, Agent at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (Brussels).
“Being a Law graduate and having a special interest in European sphere and the environment, this course has helped me to expand my knowledge about all those public policies that are most relevant in the field and to understand how they relate to each other. The course is well structured and counts with extensive materials. In addition, it offers interesting assessment options that allow you to use the acquired knowledge in a practical way.”
Juan Carlos Gil Falcón
Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciencies, Environmental Agent of the “Junta de Andalucía
“I found the Climate Law course interesting because it allowed the acquisition of current knowledge from proven first order sources. Personally, it has helped me, not only to expand my knowledge on the subject, but to develop the imagination, since the final evaluation work proposed by the teaching team was focused on it. From my point of view, the most important thing offered by this course and that makes it different from other educational courses that I have taken, is that its didactic units are accessible to the understanding of students with no prior knowledge on the subject I consider them to be easy to understand, making the assimilation of knowledge also easy. Beyond that, happy and satisfied with the completion of the course.”
