Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce students of Bachelor's degree programmes to the basic terms and concepts of commercial law. The course is offered to students of all Bachelor's degree programmes taught at the Faculty of Law as part of the compulsory course for students of these programmes. Therefore, the course is designed as a cross-curricular course. Attention is given in a partial manner to basically all fundamental areas of commercial law. Nevertheless, the focus is on the areas of greatest importance to graduates of Bachelor programmes. For this reason, increased attention is paid in particular to corporate law and commercial contract law.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to have a general orientation in all areas of commercial law. The student will learn the elementary terminology of this branch of law and will be able to understand and to explain the main concepts of commercial law theory.
