The establishment of a common market was one of the original purposes of the so-called European Economic Community. For this reason, within a Master in European Union and, especially, within the line of Economics and Political it is necessary to study the Single Market as a promoter element of economic activity and integration, since the internal market is essential in the process of European economic integration.

In this course attention is paid, among other things, the fundamental elements of the Single Market: fundamental freedoms, the operating rules of the Single Market and Economic and Monetary Union. Likewise, the analysis of economic integration, especially through economic convergence, is part of the content of this matter.
