The course is aimed at the study of the law governing the organization and activity of public administration, in its components given by administrative functions, their modes of performance and the means by which they are carried out. The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive basic knowledge of the relevant discipline, jurisprudential orientations and lines of evolution.

Knowledge and understanding: The student - by participating in the lectures and practical activities of the course - will have acquired a full knowledge of the general principles and rules of administrative law, also in view of the sovranational framework, and will have learnt the classification of administrative functions, which will enable him/her to find his/her way in the special part of administrative law. The acquisition of this knowledge will be ascertained through interaction with the lecturer in class, through exercises and through the final examination, which will consist of a written test and an oral interview. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student - on the basis of the methodological teachings provided - will be able to identify the legal principles and rules of administrative law to be applied to the concrete case, taking into account the different regulatory contexts, will be able to interpret and apply them, also in the light of supranational law, and solve legal problems. Interaction with the lecturer in class, exercises and the presence of online content will make it possible to verify the skills acquired. The acquisition of such knowledge will also be ascertained in the final examination, which will consist of a written test and an oral interview. Autonomy of judgement: The student, through the use of the methodologies acquired during the course, will be aware of the complexity of administrative regulations and of the need to orientate himself on the basis of general institutes and principles. He/she will then be able to identify the elements relevant to the case to be resolved and gather the relevant materials. He/she will then acquire the ability to independently assess and identify solutions to practical cases, both in administrative and jurisdictional proceedings. These skills will be tested not only through examinations and exercises, but also by simulating concrete situations. Communication skills: the student will acquire terminological precision and appropriate language skills, which are essential for understanding and solving practical cases. Learning ability: the student will have a comprehensive basic knowledge of the relevant discipline, case law and lines of evolution, such that he/she will be able to continuously and profitably update his/her knowledge, also independently. The acquisition of such knowledge and skills will be ascertained in the examination, as well as during the course, by means of case simulations and participation in teaching workshops.
