Administrative, Political and Economic Sciences

The course aims to provide students with the necessary tools to achieve a degree of basic preparation on the most important principles and institutions of administrative law, also in order to encourage further study in master's degree studies. More specifically, the course will provide knowledge about sources, subjective legal situations, administrative activity; the issues related to the organization of the public administration (subjects, structures and relationships, the staff); the most relevant profiles of public contracts and assets. These are contents that can provide students with useful knowledge to develop specific skills concerning central and local public administrations and public bodies and those skills necessary to understand complex realities in order to apply this knowledge in the workplace. This course fits perfectly within the specific objectives of the course of Administration and Organization Sciences, as it allows a thorough understanding and an adequate understanding of the main tools of the activity and of the administrative organization (as well as an ability to decline as part of recent innovative administrative law reforms). With the course the student will acquire the methodology of study and research of administrative law; that is to go in for the principles, the general part and the special part of administrative law, which is characterized by different national and European regulatory sources and not by a single code. What is more, in order to apply themselves to the acquired knowledge and to implement their judgement autonomy, students will work through practices and/or work group on specific topics covered by the course. This will allow students to develop the skills to communicate what they have learned in frontal lessons even in a working context or just to continue for further studies. Finally, the verification of the achievement of the knowledge and skills described will be achieved not only through the traditional final examination but also in the continuous and progressive monitoring of learning outcomes by means of oral intermediate tests.
