(ILO1; ILO2.1-2.2; ILO3) Non-attending The final examination consists of a written test with six open-ended questions: four from the first part of the course on administrative activity and two from the second part on digital transition.

M2 - For attending and non-attending students: a written test consisting of knowledge questions and problems as well as case studies. Knowledge and understanding (ILO1): on the basis of the so-called knowledge questions, it is checked whether students have developed a thorough knowledge and understanding of European and international law. Application of knowledge and understanding (ILO2.1.-2.2): whether the students have learnt to identify and use relevant legal sources relating to European and international law and to use them is tested by means of so-called application questions/case studies. In this way, it is also checked whether they have understood how to interpret complex legal norms. Last but not least, their ability to apply their knowledge of European and international law to real or hypothetical situations. Making judgements (ILO3): in order to check whether students have learnt to make well-founded judgements, so-called problem questions/case studies are used.
