Obiettivi formativi
The course pursues the general objective of the Master Programme to train new legal experts and professionals endowed with the proper cultural profile and the skills which are necessary to understand supranational legal phenomena and their evolution from a European perspective.
In this framework, this course contributes to provide the students with a basic knowledge of the foundational legal features of the EU legal order. As such, it is mainly addressed to those students who lack preliminary knowledge on the EU institutional system and legal structure/mechanisms, with a view to reach a level playing field and fully equip them with the necessary legal tools to better approach the Degree Course.
It is important to note that the course is also part of an open access on-line platform of UniTo courses, to which the students can have access even before joining UniTo and starting to attend classes (please cfr. https://start.unito.it/). Moreover, those students who are willing to strengthen their skills/refresh their EU law knowledge can even just benefit from the on-line learning materials (either entirely or partially, as they wish), without any obligation to take the final exam.
