Programme Structure
The programme lasts twelve months and the beginning of the courses takes place in October-November and in January-February of each academic year.
The programme consists of one dissertation, two courses of legal research methodology, as well as the following courses:
1st Term
- Advanced legal Skills
Students will acquire all the knowledge required to research and locate legal information and develop the theory of legal methodology. During the program the skill of legal writing and research will be developed so that all students upon graduation from the master’s program have all the advanced legal skills required by the industry. - Commercial Law & International Trade
Students will study extensively the basic aspects of commercial law. They will explore how sales contracts are created, the rights of the parties to a contract, and delve into the obligations that these contracts often create in international commercial law. Emphasis will also be placed on the objectives and effectiveness of the principles of commercial law.
2nd Term
- Applied Legal methods
Students will be able to apply the legal skills taught to a research project that is suitable for submission as an academic paper at a formal conference. For this reason, the work will be accompanied by a 15-minute presentation, effectively giving the students the opportunity to work in simulation conditions of a conference. The subject can be determined by the students themselves in collaboration with the head of studies of the Law department. The students should show a clear understanding of the module they have chosen. - Legal Research Project
This module gives the students the opportunity to freely choose a topic on an object of personal interest that has always interested them and that pushed them and to choose the specific postgraduate or that arose during the specific program. The course is designed primarily to offer students the opportunity to produce a research paper on a subject of purely their own interest without the usual limitations of a course. This paper could also be published in a scientific journal. - Dissertation
Students in collaboration with the head of the law department will develop the formal dissertation of their master’s program. The dissertation is designed to mark the completion of students’ skills at postgraduate level. Students should study a number of defined or optional areas of commercial law, but the key element in the final dissertation is the emphasis placed on independent student research. This module, perhaps more than any other, provides students with the opportunity to work individually on a topic of their choice within the commercial law field, without the limitations that exist in a particular subject matter.
*Modules may change each year.
