The LLM in Legal Studies represents a unique training opportunity to address international, transnational, and comparative legal phenomena. The programme fills a gap in the Italian University system, which appears to mainly focus on domestic law, and welcomes students who have a previous legal degree and those who have a minimum legal background (30 ECTS).
LEGS graduates will be able to navigate through the international legal context, to understand and critically analyse the relationship between different legal systems, to assess national norms in the wider context of the supra-national European legal order, and to handle softer forms of transnational law.
This course opens the path to professional careers such as legal experts for businesses, for the public administration, and for NGOs, freelance consulting activities, or any new and disrupting career paths sprouting from a highly international and interdisciplinary academic and practical context.
Graduates in Legal Studies can also complete their legal training by attending specialization schools, II level Master's and specialization courses.
Moreover, they can pursue the academic career, as well. The LLM gives access to PhD applications both in Italy and abroad.”
