The seminars will be held by collaborators of the law school and by external professors.
Recognition of exams held abroad for students involved on the Socrates-Erasmus project:
It is possible to recognise advanced/specialised programmes and exams completed in foreign universities, even on academic texts differing from those of the course, following prior authorisation by the Professor.
