In Utroque Iure

Licentiate cycle

The educational offer for the Licentiate in Utroque Iure, in addition to the complete study of the canonical disciplines, in accordance with the established legal tradition of the Institutum, also attributes a relevant position to the historical-Roman, comparative and international disciplines. Candidates are offered a study method characterized by an in-depth study of historical sources, an openness to the comparison of the canonical system with other legal systems and an interest in the legal production of the international sector.

The curricular schedule, without neglecting the theological dimension of Canon Law, helps understanding as a strictly juridical phenomenon. The student, with the specialist guidance of lecturers, will be able to acquire a study method and a specialization that responds to the services and responsibilities related to the exercise of the legal activity of the Church. In particular, the Licentiate in Utroque Iure responds to the necessary legal preparation required for some ecclesiastical offices, for the activity within the international forums, to train future teachers in the canonical disciplines.
