Profile of the programme
THIS 5-YEAR DEGREE IN LAW PROGRESSIVELY LEADS THE STUDENT INTO THE PRINCIPLES, THE STRUCTURES, FUNCTIONS AND DISCIPLINES OF THE MAIN LEGAL INSTITUTIONS OF INTERNAL LAW, INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND EUROPEAN UNION LAW. THE COURSE OFFERED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PERUGIA AIMS IN PARTICULAR AT THE FORMATION OF JURISTS/LAWYERS WHO, AWARE OF LEGAL TRADITION AND IN POSSESSION OF A ROBUST CULTURAL FOUNDATION, ARE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH FELLOW JURISTS/LAWYERS AND OPERATORS OF LAW BELONGING TO DIVERSE LEGAL SYSTEMS, IN A LEGAL REALITY INCREASINGLY INFLUENCED BY TODAY’S PROCESSES OF GLOBALISATION. THE PURPOSE OF OFFERING A DEGREE CONFORMING TO THE EUROPEAN STANDARD, AND PREPARING STUDENTS TO PRACTISE THEIR FUTURE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES AT TRANSNATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, MEANS SOME OF THE TEACHING IS DELIVERED IN ENGLISH. CRITICAL ABILITY TO INTERPRET AND TO ANALYSE CASE STUDY IS SUPPORTED BEYOND THE CLASSROOM THROUGH NEW INNOVATIVE LEARNING THEORY-PRACTICE FORMS (LEGAL CLINICS, ACTUAL CASE SIMULATION, LEGAL WRITING LABS) THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORMATION OF GRADUATES ABLE TO DEAL WITH APPLICATIVE PROBLEMS OF LAW AND TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERTINENT COMPETENCES FOR THE WORKPLACE. INTERNSHIPS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES ALLOW THE UNDERGRADUATE TO TRANSLATE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE INTO PRE-PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. FURTHER POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES LIE IN RESEARCH DOCTORATES AND WITH THE DEPARTMENT’S PROFESSORS, THE SPECIALIZATION SCHOOL FOR THE LEGAL PROFESSIONS.
