Learning activities and methodology
Teaching activities: During their undergraduate studies, as well as during the common module of the master's study plan, the students have acquired a solid theoretical background. Therefore, during the specialization credits it is possible, to a greater extent, to do without lectures. The teaching will be structured across practical cases. Specific materials will be given in advance to resolve these cases. This will allow the students to confront actual practical issues. For each of the optional courses of 3 ECTS, to reach 15 ECTS, the workload is the following: Hours of theory: 20 h. Hours of practice: 10 h. Hours of work by the student, and other activities: 45 h. . Teaching methodologies: A series of practical cases will be given to the students, which will be resolved following a detailed schedule. Each lesson will be accompanied by specific readings (scholarly writings, case law, regulatory materials). Everything should be understood without prejudice to the possibility by the teacher of making a brief theoretical introduction at the beginning of each session to identify the fundamental problems, and placing them within the unit which is discussed at each moment.
