European Dimension in Space
This module will provide students with an insight into the advantages of collaboration within Europe for the promotion of Space Science. The mechanism for the selection of missions and their subsequent development will be illustrated using a number of topical examples.
Students will participate in two group-based mission design studies which will simulate the European mission selection process in the context of high energy astronomy. -

European Labour Markets
This module offers a comprehensive analysis of global and European policy and politics of employment and skill formation. Far from becoming less important in the context of a serious recession, these issues are all the more important because demographic trends are unaltered in the medium term, even with an economic recession: most of the 2050 workforce are already on the planet and most of the 2030 workforce are already in the labour market. In the scramble to shed jobs, we need to reflect on these issues and to think more strategically about how to ensure we shall have the workforce with the competences necessary to meet the challenges of the future. The module is designed to equip participants with a core body of knowledge necessary to understand European diversity with respect to, among other things, labour market regulation, employment relations systems and training regimes. Participants will be introduced to the underpinning theories of labour market regulation as well as the policy tools and instruments that have been developed in support of the Lisbon and Europe 2020 objectives of making Europe the most competitive knowledge based economy based on a high level of skills and social inclusion. -

PAIR3026 2029-30
European Power and the Geopolitics of Europe and Asia
It is the first time in history that we can approach the problem of European security architecture in terms of governance, rather than hegemony or the balance of power. The proliferation of European and global institutions concerned with addressing different dimensions of broadly defined security is encouraging and an indication of progress in light of the extremely violent first half of the 20th century.
At the same time, however, some of Europe’s centuries-old demons seem to have returned with vengeance (conflict with Russia) and new challenges undermine the established security order (Brexit). At the centre of these progressive and regressive developments is the EU and the ever-important problem of the nature and scope of European integration. In the field of international security, the EU has made an important, if often overlooked progress, transforming the very approach to long-term security challenges. At the same time, the security dimension of European integration is very much work in progress and, in light of the aforementioned challenges, raises some fundamental questions. -

European Union (EU) Law and UK-EU relationship: Foundations
This module examines European Union (EU) law and the ongoing UK-EU relationship. The focus of the first part is upon the EU institutions and law-making power, and key principles of EU law. With this structural foundation in place attention turns to EU substantive law in the second part, examining the core principles and rules of the EU internal market. The third (final) part of the module moves to consider the post-Brexit legal, economic and political relationship between the European Union and UK.
Building on the knowledge developed in the first two parts, this final part examines the ongoing dynamic impact of EU law in the UK legal order, the tension between UK exercise of sovereignty and the need for legal certainty, and the realities of the ongoing regulatory relationship between the two jurisdictions which is governed by the UK-EU trade agreement and shaped in part by the particular political and economic position of Northern Ireland. -
