Master in Legal Sciences in Law, Banking, and Finance

Starting from September 2022, the Department will offer the Master’s Degree in Legal Sciences in Law, Banking, and Finance (LM SC-GIUR. class).

Further information can be found Link identifier #identifier__80607-14here.

This new program is aimed at students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree in Law, Economics and Business Studies, or Political Science. Its goal is to provide a specialized educational pathway focused on legal, economic, and financial topics, ensuring the curriculum aligns closely with labor market demands in the field of banking and financial regulation.

The program aims to train professionals with the skills needed to work in the “regulation” and “compliance” departments of banking institutions and other financial and insurance intermediaries or to serve as “board secretaries” and general counsel. It also provides the necessary tools to apply for positions in national and European institutions such as the Bank of Italy, Consob, the European Central Bank, and authorities within the European System of Financial Supervision.

The course offers two tracks: one taught in Italian and one entirely in English, called “Law and Finance.”

Students will have the opportunity to participate in internships and orientation activities at specialized law firms, institutions, and authorities in the sector, aiming to facilitate their entry into the job market.

Master of Law and New Technologies

The Master of Law and New Technologies offers a specific educational pathway that ensures the curriculum meets the evolving needs of the labor market. These needs are increasingly shaped by globalization and rapid technological innovation. The Department of Law has recognized the importance of adapting its academic offerings to these changes, aiming to train legal professionals distinguished by three key characteristics:
a) interdisciplinary specialization;
b) international orientation;
c) professionalism extending beyond traditional legal professions and litigation.

These professional profiles were deemed crucial during the design of the new degree program, based on labor market analyses for law graduates and numerous discussions with stakeholders. According to AlmaLaurea’s 2021 Employment Conditions of Graduates, the majority of law graduates are employed five years post-graduation in public and private enterprises and do not practice traditional legal professions. Discussions with stakeholders revealed a clear need to train legal professionals with strong interdisciplinary skills (particularly in digital fields) and expertise extending beyond litigation (statistics show that in large international law firms, only a minority of professionals focus on litigation).

The degree in Legal Sciences for New Technologies seeks to combine and develop these profiles through two interrelated tracks, one taught in Italian and the other in English.

The interdisciplinary specialization focuses on the relationship between law, data science, and digital technologies. The program leverages collaboration between the Department of Law and sectors within the Departments of Engineering, particularly Computer and Telecommunications Engineering.

The international orientation is emphasized through courses covering legal issues related to transnational markets and technological models, as well as the offering of an entirely English-taught curriculum designed for legal professionals in a global context.

The focus on professionalism beyond litigation is reflected in courses aimed at equipping legal professionals with the tools and skills needed to guide the negotiation activities of public and private entities, prevent disputes, and assist organizations and businesses in compliance with regulations.

The number of students admitted to the program is determined annually by the Department of Law. Admission requires specific academic prerequisites from prior bachelor’s studies and certified language skills. Personal competencies will be assessed during an admission interview.
