Public Law

The course aims to teach students the fundamentals of Italian public law (sources of law, the general workings of State, the constitutional and administrative organisation of the Republic of Italy, the legal system and citizens' rights) and to build on the core legal education offered in all degree programme curricula.
In addition to textbook study, classroom learning is central (although not mandatory) to achieving these learning objectives, as lessons offer students an essential opportunity to learn the correct methodological approach to study and the appropriate legal terminology.

Upon completing the course, students will have a full understanding of the core public law institutions and will be able to discuss them in a strictly logical manner using accurate legal terminology. Students will be able to seamlessly continue the legal studies prescribed in the various curricula of the degree programme and to independently and cognitively analyse the Italian constitutional system (including its relationships with supranational legislation and current issues relating to political institutions).
