Scientific activities

Our department has been independent since the establishment of Széchenyi István University on 1st January 2002. As its name also shows, it handles basically three big research and educational fields. The teaching of commercial law covers the research and education of corporate law, law of cooperative societies, competition law, the law of commercial agreements, law of logistics, law of transport, law of freight forwarding, insurance law, law of securities, banking law, financial securities law and law of mergers and takeovers.

The staff of the department deals with the comprehensive research and education of the entire legal field of labour law with special regards to the theory of labour law liability, including the labour law of the public sector and gender studies (women’s role and presence in the labour market).

The third field of study managed by the department is agrarian law. The education and research of agrarian law is a comprehensive combination of the legal regulation of environment protection, land law and the law of land-registers.

The department teaches and researches the international, especially the European, legal aspects of the above listed legal areas in all three fields of research and education. Special attention is afforded to: the international competition law, the community and European corporate law, the law of mergers and takeovers in globalisation, the labour law of the EU, and the environmental law of the EU.
