Diploma in European Healthcare and Health Product Law (DESAPS)
This course, complementary to the general courses offered at Toulouse Capitole University, identifies the activities of the Jean Monnet Chair in European health and health products law, held by Nathalie De Grove-Valdeyron. It is one of the courses offered by the European School of Law (ESL), part of the European Centre of Excellence at Capitole (C2EC).
DESAPS aims to provide additional skills and specific legal expertise not only to law, medicine and pharmacy students, but also to public and private healthcare professionals, and law professionals wishing to specialise in the fields of health and health products, understood in their European dimension.
Teaching combines the contributions of university staff (lecturers and researchers) specialising in European law, health law and pharmaceutical law with those of experienced professionals.
