Module Description

This module  examines the rules concerning the free movement of Union citizens and their families in the European Union. It traces the evolution of these rules from their economic origins to their current conceptualisation as citizenship rights. The first half of the module will provide a detailed analysis of the general framework of EU internal migration rights. In the second half, we will consider the application of these rules in particular situations or to particular categories of individuals (eg: professionals, students, patients, posted workers).
