At the end of the course, students will be familiar with the regulatory framework of securities markets and will recognise the rights and obligations it creates. As part of the business law programme, the course provides the skills needed for independent use of the securities markets.
The course contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
The student will examine financial market regulations that promote economic stability and responsible investment practices. The student will analyse investor protection frameworks and their role in fostering sustainable economic growth.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
The student will assess how sustainability regulation (e.g., SFDR, EU Taxonomy) influences financial products and services. The student will explore legal obligations for financial institutions in disclosing ESG risks and sustainability impacts.
SDG 13 – Climate Action
The student will examine the role of investment regulation in directing capital towards climate-friendly and sustainable projects. The student will analyse legal mechanisms that promote green bonds, sustainable investments, and climate risk disclosures.
