The aim of the master's degree course in Law is to enable the acquisition of a solid higher-level legal education required for access to the legal professions and to senior management positions in public administrations and public and private companies.
Currently, the labour market shows a growing demand for interdisciplinarity. Within such an ever-changing context, a degree in law allows for placement with leadership and coordination roles within the innovative business areas characterizing the global and digital economy. Specifically, upon completion of the course, the candidates will be able to seek transnational labor market opportunities, both in the public sector, in supranational and foreign institutions, agencies and bodies, and in the private sector, in multinational and foreign companies, agencies and bodies.
The learning pathway features theoretical subjects, practical and professionalizing subjects as well as seminars and workshops, with a focus on the areas of sports management and health professions. The aim of the degree course is to favour a swift introduction into the labor market of trained, competent and autonomous graduates.
The strong integration between the Law degree programme and the other courses offered by the University allows students to experience a fruitful interdisciplinarity of content and approaches to analysis. Furthermor, the course gives the student the possibility to build a network of knowledge among students from different courses, who are called upon to work together in laboratory and seminar activities.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The students graduated in Law have access to competitive examinations and licensing tests for the legal professions (judge, notary, and lawyer); they can also join companies or public administrations as corporate lawyers or legal services managers.
The sports-oriented degree course in Law trains professionals who are ready to work in the sports system in business, advisory and managerial capacities in both the private and public sectors.
Upon completion of the course, the candidates will be able to hold central positions in sports institutions and work as employees or consultants of federations and companies operating in the world of sports, as sports agents, sports justice actors, and as employees of legislative offices of public bodies for the development and care of sports, in national and supranational spheres (European Union, Council of Europe, UNESCO and World Anti-Doping Agency-WADA).
The health management-oriented degree course trains experienced professionals in the management of legal issues related to health services, who can then find employment in the public or private sector as entrepreneurs, administrators, consultants, and corporate lawyers.
MODALITY OF ATTENDANCE
The learning activities as well as seminars and interdisciplinary workshops dedicated to the active training of students are presential.
In special circumstances, under proven prerequisites, it is also possible to participate in lessons via live streaming, interacting live with the classroom.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted in the course of study, the student must possess a high school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as eligible under the current regulations.
The candidate must also have adequate knowledge of general culture and logic-mathematics, as well as text comprehension skills.
Language knowledge and skills consistent with the language of delivery of the course of study are also required.
The knowledge required for access will be assessed by means of a special verification test, which can be taken only once and whose result is communicated at its conclusion.
The verification test, prepared by a special committee, is structured in two sections aimed respectively at assessing:
- possession of knowledge and skills related to general culture, history, current affairs and logic-mathematics, as well as the ability to understand the text
- possession of language knowledge and skills, detailed as follows: knowledge of the Italian language at a level of not less than B2, with reference to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Failure to pass the remedial test (or a single part of it) will result in the student being assigned the following additional educational obligations (OFA), to be fulfilled within the first year of the course:
- for the first section, compulsory attendance of one or more remedial courses and passing the relevant final test
- for the second section, compulsory attendance of an appropriate remedial course and passing the relevant final test.
TUTORING
he Course of Study supports the students through 4 different types of tutoring:
- Orientation and soft skill-aimed tutoring, carried out by the Educational Coordinator, who assists the students in the stages of orientation, insertion into university life, monitoring of the learning pathway and motivation (always having as a reference the planned results), support in the completion of bureaucratic procedures, the latter in collaboration with the Student Administration Office;
- international orientation tutoring, carried out by the International office, which offers personalized assistance to both international students enrolled in the Course of Study and Erasmus students;
- educational tutoring, entrusted to teaching support figures (teaching assistants, doctoral students, holders of supplementary teaching contracts, etc.), who support the students with supplementary teaching activities related to specific teachings;
- specialized tutoring, carried out by the Inclusion Education Coordinator, for students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA) and special educational needs (BES), aimed at reducing the obstacles that could prevent their full inclusion in the university environment.
WORKSHOPS
The workshop activities are designed as moments of learning by doing, through which the students will acquire and/or refine soft skills (team work, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, etc.), increasingly fundamental in the labour maket. Furthermore, workshops represent opportunities for in-depth experiential learning in direct contact with professionals in the field.
