COURSES HELD IN MACERATA FOR LEARNING AGREEMENT
The Department of Law offers a wide range of courses in English and Italian languages. Of course, courses held in English are perhaps the easiest to be attended by incoming students. Pursuant to the very spirit of Erasmus+ programme, we strongly encourage them to take advantage of their stay in Macerata in order to learn Italian language (language courses are offered free of charge at the CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo); see the proper IRO's page), and to take courses in Italian, too.
For this purpose, you can find below the instructions to check the entire teaching offer of the Department of Law, with an explanation of the meaning of the several abbreviations.

Moreover, every year at the Department of Law several visiting scholars from all over the world deliver seminars and lectures in very different areas. Incoming Erasmus+ students are always very welcome to such events, as well as the events of the UniMC International Week which usually takes place twice a year in November and April.
You can find an extensive list of seminars included in the IECoLS programme on the webpage of the IECoLS LLB, section "Scheduled seminars".
N.B.: in many cases, attending the seminars allows students to get additional CFU (ECTS) credits. Contact each seminar's organizing teacher for more information.
Besides the courses held at the Department of Law, there are more law-related courses held in English language at other University of Macerata Departments. You can check them Department by Department on this page.
Incoming students at the Department of Law are free to choose the courses included in the above mentioned page and any other courses taught in different Departments, as far as the majority of chosen courses are lectured at the Department of Law.
All of the modules/courses above stated are taught in Macerata. N.B.: the semester of the course is subject to change from year to year. If no updated information is available online for the relevant academic year, please contact the module/course leader.
Students can find the updated syllabus for each course by searching the Teacher’s name in the “search” field of the webpage http://docenti.unimc.it/front-page?set_language=en&cl=en -> Teaching, and then choosing the course.
