COURSE PROGRAMME

Diário da República, 2nd series — No 221 — November 17, 2016

The 1st Cycle of Studies in Law aims to provide students with a set of basic legal knowledge: the tools that every Jurist shoud be using, whatever their area of work. The most rigorous, up-to-date notions in national and foreign legal science are also provided. The purpose of this training is to proved students with the ability to select and interpret social phenomena, qualifying them from the legal point of view. The 1st cycle trained Jurists must also be able to communicate decisions, their underlying principles and grounds, since for legal solutions to be effective they must convince their addressees. It is also the objective of the 1st cycle to elicit in the student a taste for attending specialization courses in the future, since Law has extended its scope to new areas, which entails the need for the Jurist to return to school for specialized training.
