- at the skill-level: applying knowledge of law, accounting, corporate finance and human resources management to the resolution of the problems that arise in the corporate world, integrating law into the larger contexts in which business operates to formulate analyses and plan interventions;
- at the expertise-level: being able to independently present preventative measures for addressing issues to company management, as well as to develop and execute the legal measures necessary for the judicial resolution of conflicts in court; being able to independently develop original research ideas in various areas of corporate and labour law.
Thesis / Final work
Finishing the master's requires the completion of a dissertation in the discipline, or the completion of an innovative, applied final project, both of which correspond to 54 credits.
The option of choosing between completing an academic dissertation or an original project is given because of the diverse nature of the programme's target applicants, which include on the one hand students and technicians who intend to pursue second cycle studies, and on the other professionals in direct contact with the subjects of analysis in the course.
The preparation of the dissertation or project is guided by a professor or specialist of recognized merit, and will be the object of public evaluation and discussion before a jury chosen for this purpose.
