Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with a theoretical knowledge of the disciplines and legal institutions related to the protection of the environment and the production of energy, with particular reference to the renewable one. The aim is also to grasp the practical implications of the study of these disciplines and the interrelation with the other scientific disciplines covered by the Degree Course. More specifically:
Judgment skills: being able to assess the legal impact of professional activity as an engineer, as well as choosing the legal and economic structure more suited to its activity.
Learning skills: being able to deepen knowledge in the field of environmental law, thanks to the autonomous consultation of texts, jurisprudential statements and articles.
