OBJECTIVES

Presentation

“Are you interested in major areas of law?
This law degree is made for you. Thanks to this training, you will acquire:
-  Disciplinary skills: fundamental concepts of law, legal analysis, understanding personal and corporate law, identifying in a document the legal means of settling disputes, etc.;
-  Pre-professional skills: defining your role and mission within an organisation to adapt and take initiatives, identifying the process of production, dissemination and valorisation of knowledge, ability to work as part of a team and independently, etc.;
-  Cross-disciplinary and language skills: using reference digital tools and information security standards, developing arguments using a critical approach, analysing and synthesising data in order to exploit them, mastering listening and reading comprehension, as well as written and oral expression in at least one modern foreign language, etc.
A Bachelor’s degree in Law is the key to choosing a specialisation at Master’s level, and then working in a legal profession in the field of Private or Public Law. The degree itself is also a valued qualification for positions in banking, insurance and property.”
