21201520 - EUROPEAN UNION LAW


In line with the educational objectives of the Degree Course in Economics and Business Management, the course promotes knowledge of the fundamental institutions of European Union law, through a logical-scientific and methodological approach to the matter, which allows students to acquire a solid base to deepen more specific areas and related disciplines - including those to be addressed in the master’s degree courses activated in the Department - and indispensable for their cultural and professional training.
It aims to provide the conceptual tools and reading keys useful to allow the understanding of the European Union legal order, that is not a simple International organization anymore nor a federation of States, yet. To this end, both during the course and in the study of the recommended texts, the use of the treaties (TUE and TFEU) articles is indispensable.
At the end of the course, the student will have:
- taken knowledge and become acquainted with the basic institutions of European Union law and with the fundamentals of European and national procedures;
- acquired a notional-theoretical apparatus and an appropriate technical language;
- developed a method of understanding the subject.
