Cílem kurzu je vysvětlení základních principů a vývojových tendencí fungování Evropské unie, včetně problematiky týkající se ČR po vstupu do EU. Kurz navazuje na přednášky ekonomické teorie, světové ekonomiky, hospodářské politiky a dějin hospodářství. Kurz je záměrně situován do 6. semestru proto, aby studenti problematiku EU pochopili i v dalších souvislostech z témat předmětů, které dříve absolvovali (v makroekonomickém, mikroekonomickém i regionálním záběru). Kurz je zakončen písemnou zkouškou.
