Learning outcomes

The course is included in the learning area on Global dimension of legal phenomena. It aims at providing students with the legal and methodological tools that are necessary for an in-depth and specialised study of competition law, which represents one of the main areas of competence of the European Union, from both perspectives of public and private enforcement. Through the study of the main legal sources and case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, and implementing a practical approach, the course is intended to foster the students’ understanding of the implications on the economic structure of a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market.
The student will be able to address and resolve actual issues arising from the professional context in which he/she is going to operate, focusing his/her competences on the contractual compliance and the methods of alternative dispute resolution. The student will be able to verify the practical implications of the legal and regulatory framework, as well as to resolve practical cases, in both oral and written forms and also through team-work experiences, written-based exercises and the application of the method of Problem Based Solving (PBS), using an appropriate and specific vocabulary, developing proper reasoning and argumentation and reaching independent judgement. The teaching methodology is instrumental to continuous learning and knowledge updating.
