Educational Offer in English

Law

The Law School’s course educational offer is aimed at providing our students with an in-depth knowledge of the legal system, allowing them to understand and to manage these dynamics, through acquiring the needed tools to respond to an extremely  competitive and even more “globalized”  labour market. Increasingly, it’s necessary to think in European terms: this brings about  a process of integration, which, at very different speeds, affects domains such as the productive, economic, financial, legal and social ones.

For that reason, starting from the academic year 2010-2011, the course offer includes a number of courses in English language. Such an initiative is aimed at offering to both Italian and foreign students  an opportunity to attend some of the elective courses through classes entirely taught in English.
The students will be presented with cases and study materials in English. Each course is generally built around four hours-seminar or lecture per week and is concluded with an oral or written examination. In some courses participants could be required to write a term paper. Courses may be run in first semester, second semester or both semesters, depending on the module assigned.

All the above-mentioned courses will be started up only if a minimum number of students (3 at least for each course) will have applied for them.

Courses

Detailed course syllabuses (course content, textbooks and class timetable)  are  available on the Law School Website.

Arts

I level International University Master course TEMA - European Territories
The 2-years-long (120 ECTS) European Master Course (civilisation, nation, region, city): identity and development proposes the analysis of political use and scientific representation of territorial units (civilization, nation, region, city) in an interdisciplinary, research-based curriculum.
 

TEMA Master Course is offered by a consortium of the following European universities: Eötvös Loránd University (Website) of Budapest, Hungary, École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Website) of Paris, France, University of Catania, (Website) Italy and Charles University (Website) of Prague, Czech Republic.

Organised in four main modules: Civilization, Nation, Region and City, representing four research scales, as well as four different approaches to historical, political, social and cultural issues of space and those of territory, the TEMA Master provides students with an in-depth understanding of European cohesion policy and regional development emphasising on legal framework and scientific analysis. According to the two objectives of the Master Course, i. e. ensuring a certain homogeneity in training as well as highlighting the specificities of each partner university, the TEMA curriculum is divided into two parts: a common study core of fundamental and methodological courses on one hand, and specialised research courses on the other hand. The curriculum also offers two intensive weeks focusing on a specific subject of the TEMA programme. Students are required to study at two partner universities at least.
 

To apply for Master TEMA students must hold a first degree (BA/BSc /180 ECTS/) in History, Geography, Anthropology, Ethnography, Cultural Studies, Urban Studies, Nationalism Studies, Law, Economy, Administration. The selection is based on academic excellence and proficiency in English and in French, which are the teaching languages.
