Course objectives
The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge of public health protection issues from both public and private law perspectives, following the study of theoretical disciplines of public and private law. Public health protection is lectured from an international, European and national perspective. The added value of the course lies mainly in the participation of guest lecturers who are practitioners and are able to provide students with practical and theoretical insight into the issues.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will have acquired a cross-cutting knowledge of the basic legal instruments of public health protection within the framework of international and EU law and current legislation in the Czech Republic. The student will be able to apply these instruments in practice, including in relation to environmental legislation, health and food law. On the basis of the knowledge acquired in this way, the student will be able to present reasoned solutions and, in particular, to interpret and apply the enforceability of public health law appropriately.
