Course syllabus
The course in Processing of sensitive data aims to provide students with an introduction to the philosophical-legal definitions, as well as to the so called living law, on the subject. The perspectives of the national legislator and those of the European one in the context of the GDPR will be taken into specific consideration, as well as the NIS legislation dedicated to critical infrastructures and the so-called AI act that will be further explored. The "living" perspectives that look at doctrine, jurisprudence and administrative practices will also be the subject of in-depth analysis, also looking at the issue of migration, border control, international protection and administrative detention of irregular migrants as a specific case study.
Prerequisites for admission
No
Teaching methods
As far as applicable, relevance and application will be given to the so-called clinical-legal method, i.e. the taking charge of real cases relevant to the subject. Some lectures will be seminars, allowing the opening of interdisciplinary research paths also for the purpose of thesis, alongside more frontal lectures.
Teaching Resources
will be communicated by the teacher later on a definitive basis.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is oral.
The questions will focus on the topics covered in the classroom and on the bibliography indicated and discussed during the course of the lessons, as well as on the analysis of real cases and related acts eventually produced.
The following will be evaluated:
1) the degree of knowledge, in-depth analysis and critical understanding of the contents;
2) the ability to argue and establish relationships between the main issues;
3) the ability to express oneself using appropriate terminology.
Assessment criteria:
To obtain an overall grade between 27 and 30 laude, students will have to demonstrate: an organic vision of the topics addressed in class and/or studied in the manuals and critical texts in the bibliography; an excellent ability to critically analyze the topics covered and an excellent ability to express and argue; excellent knowledge of the technical language.
An overall grade between 23 and 26 will be awarded to those who demonstrate: a good knowledge of the program; a good ability to critically analyze the topics covered and a good ability to express and argue; a good property of language with some uncertainty in the exposition and/or imprecision in the use of technical language.
An acceptable but superficial knowledge of the program, a superficial understanding of the texts, a limited capacity for critical analysis and an expression that is not always appropriate will lead to barely sufficient evaluations (between 18 and 22).
Poor knowledge of texts, inadequate critical analysis skills; Incorrect or inappropriate written and oral expression will result in a negative evaluation. In case of insufficient grade, students will have to repeat the exam.
