Second-Level Master's Degree

The Master’s program is designed as an educational initiative that emphasizes an integrated approach to studying issues in business law. It combines in-depth exploration of core substantive areas—such as commercial law, bankruptcy law, tax law, and financial markets law—with an analysis of criminal law. The curriculum aims to in fact, to train as modern legal professionals specializing in corporate criminal law. These professionals will be able to collaborate with experts in other fields to meet the demand for individuals with specific legal and compliance expertise, who can manage the “criminal risk” associated with the activities of complex organizations.

Subject areas: entities in corporate criminal law; corporate liability for offenses under Italian Legislative Decree 231 of 2001; corporate, tax, and bankruptcy offenses; and criminal-law protection of financial markets and savings.

The Master’s program is structured into modules designed to provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of various topics in corporate criminal law. Throughout the course, there will be written assessments, an oral interview, and a final exam. Upon completion of the program, and after evaluating participants’ progress, internships may be arranged with organizations, institutions, law firms, and companies as part of the course.
