EMLE Track System

Students can choose to follow one of three different specialisation tracks in the EMLE programme: the ‘Economic Analysis of Markets, Corporations & Regulators track’ (MCR), the ‘Economic Analysis of Public & International Law track’ (PIL), and the ‘Economic Analysis of Innovation and Intellectual Property track’ (IP). 

While in the first term the courses are the same across all tracks and universities, specialization starts in the second term with two specialized courses per track and three courses that will be the same across the different tracks and university partners. The third term finalizes the chosen specialization with two courses that are unique to the chosen track and university, and the thesis written under supervision of a professor from the third term University. Below you can find more information about the courses of each of the tracks.

Students are not obliged to follow a track but will earn a recognizing certificate if they do so. If students decide not to follow a track, they may choose the universities to study at freely, always based on availability of spots per university. In this, however, they need to follow the general mobility rules of the programme: all students need to study at least at two different universities (one of which at least from a European country), which have to be different from the country of residence of the student at the time of enrollment. Therefore, students who wish to study at Haifa, Arizona or Mumbai, our three non-European partners, will have to choose at least one other European partner to spend their EMLE year. Also, if a student listed, for example, the Netherlands as country of residence in his/her application, he/she can only spend one term in Rotterdam and has to choose two different partner universities for the other two terms (i.e., it is not possible to spend the first and second term in Rotterdam).
