Understanding the interplay between different layers of regulation and the main principles of EU food law

Socratic and case studies (if COVID so allows)

if not

The different teaching blocks will be organised through a blend of different components:  reading and study materials, video lectures, presentations with vocal comment, streaming lessons, in presence or virtual room  (Webex) sessions for interaction with students, assignments of reaction papers, students’ in presence or online presentations etc.

All the materials will be made available  through the teaching platform (moodle)

A more precise balance of the different components is dependent on the evolution of health restrictions and will be communicated to the students before the commencement of the course.

It is therefore essential and compulsory that all the students enrol in the teaching platform to have full access both to materials, discussions and communications
