Accessing the course

This course is open to all; however, all students registering for the first time with the university/Law Degree programme must take an entrance test to verify logical reasoning-interpretational and linguistic aptitude. Any student who does not pass this test is obliged to follow a 15-hour remedial course to complete the compulsory educational requirements as laid down by MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, Industry and Research). This remedial course is held alongside the regular course and is coordinated by a member of the teaching staff and/or by 5th year student tutors. The remedial course concludes with a final test to check that all initial gaps in knowledge have been resolved.

The degree course provides for a close synergy with the world of work: legal practitioners, entrepreneurs, public institutions, both in terms of teaching and internships and seeks a constant balance between the transmission of legal knowledge and the practical application of law. It includes

  • seminars on legal writing and rhetoric;
  • development of 'transversal skills' (expository skills; control of emotionality; ability to deal with job interviews; CV writing);
  • seminar on Communication Techniques;
  • trial simulations within the individual courses as an integral part of teaching;
  • interdisciplinary advanced training course on legal/political thinking organised by the “Galante Garrone” Chair;
  • legal clinics at the International University College of Turin (IUC);
  • Extended stays abroad through the Erasmus Project;
  • Short stays abroad through the Free Mover;
  • International Moot Court (trial simulations).

If you are already interested in pursuing a second Master's degree in Economics and Management, you can structure your study plan by replacing some of the traditional subjects taught in Italian with their English-language counterparts offered for that other course, taking the relevant examination according to the table downloadable in PDF format. In this way, you would directly enter the second year of the Magistrale and obtain the degree for the Economics, Management and Institutions pathway, which is offered entirely in English. Those who had planned and successfully passed the corresponding English-language exams without actually opting for the Economics, Management and Institutions pathway will be awarded a lower number of credits without automatic admission to the second year.
