Objectives
1. Basic skills: a. Knowledge and understanding that provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and / or applying ideas, often in a research context. b.

Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
Throughout the course several seminars, taught by professors from other institutions, in which the speaker will present a specific research topic, related to the various subjects offered in the Master, will be offered.
Learning activities and methodology
The purpose of this course is to offer students a series of lecture-seminars aimed at fostering the curiosity of our students, making them think about current, controversial, pioneering, etc. topics. Between 3 and 6 seminars are offered throughout the academic year, for a total of 6 credits. Students attend these seminars and, as explained above, they must complete a critical paper that is submitted to the subject coordinator for grading. On the following page you can access the seminars held in previous years and those to be held in the current academic year.
