Teaching methods
Students sit the History of Italian Law exam at the end of the two-year course; it is therefore the sole exam. At the end of the course the first-year teacher may require students to take an oral test on the part of the programme studied, the mark from which will count towards the final mark, which will appear in students’ study records. They will therefore earn 12 learning credits in total.
