The study of law - and rights - as a window to the world

In an increasingly global world and an increasingly plural society, law emerges as a universal language and tool to ensure civil coexistence and to manage conflicts.

Learning to govern rights and needs, rules and services is essential to be competitive in the world of work, but also to be a conscious part of an extremely complex reality.

In law school you will be provided with a solid cultural foundation to be able to move 360 degrees in the legal universe. 

Jurisprudence as an important opportunity for knowledge and expertise

The course offers the opportunity for extensive preparation in all branches of law, paying attention also to the historical and cultural roots of our legal system.

You will be guaranteed the opportunity to choose from a plurality of specialized teachings, some of them delivered in English in the spirit of 'modernization in tradition,' on which the course is investing much energy and resources in order to enable its graduates to keep up with the times.

  • civilistic
