Section General and civil law
This course provides you with the necessary insight to understand our society which is firmly built on legal standards.- A student must know the most important principles of the legally determined codes of conduct. He/she should understand the importance of these legal standards, in view of their practical benefit, for both the individual and for society in general.
- It is our objective to teach students not only how to recognise and analyse the judicial aspects of a given situation, but also to enable them to solve certain judicial problems up to a certain degree.
- We want to make students alert for our fast evolving jurisdiction and point out the necessity of lifelong learning.
