What it is

The degree rests on four foundations: comparative legal systems, European law, the historical and philosophical bases of modern legal thought, and substantive and procedural law in both private and public areas, always viewed through comparative, European and international lenses. Its distinctive feature is a comparative, international and transnational approach to law, preparing you to work across legal contexts. Alongside law you improve your English and study a second European language, German, French, Spanish or Italian. You can apply for internships in international institutions. Graduates are prepared for roles needing knowledge of several legal systems, especially in international organisations and EU settings.

What you need

  • UniTrento's own admission test (online in session 1, in person in Trento in session 2); minimum 11/60. English B2.
