COURSES IN ENGLISH

WARNING: These informations are valid only for ERASMUS Students

The Law School,  the oldest one among the twelve Schools of the University of Catania, was established in the 14th century  and its old-age tradition has been widely  appreciated up to the present.
   It has symbolized, in the past, and it still represents, now, an important point of reference in a rapidly changing world and a centre of excellence for the island’s cultural élite, promoting and practising an ethos where research is encouraged and highly valued.
   It is recognised that its reputation for teaching and research, dealing with a wide range of legal disciplines in many specialist fields, has significantly contributed to the distinctive legal culture in Italy, during the last decades and promises to keep on doing so successfully in the future.   
   The Law School’s course offer is not only aimed at providing our students with an in-depth knowledge of the structure of the legal system, but also at allowing them  to understand and to  manage these dynamics, through acquiring the tools needed to respond to an extremely  competitive and even more “globalized”  labour market. Increasingly, it’s necessary to think in European terms: this brings about  a process of integration, which, at very different speeds, affects domains such as the productive, economic, financial, legal and social ones.
   For that reason,  starting from the academic year 2011-2012, the course offer will include a number of  courses in English. Such an initiative is aimed at  offering to both italian and foreign students  an opportunity to attend some of the elective courses through classes entirely taught in English and could result in an increasing number of foreign students coming to Catania in the  context of exchange programs for short-term or long-term students’mobility. A wider english spoken course offer will allow foreign students, whose fluency in italian is often very poor, to choose an adequate package of courses and seminars to be attended during their staying in Catania.  So far agreements have been made with around 35  Universities from all over Europe.
