The course aims to contribute to the achievement of the educational objectives of the Course of study, providing a complete and up-to-date picture of the system
of private law. In this perspective, the main institutions of private law are examined, with particular attention to their function and to the analysis of the meaning of the legal provisions governing them.
With regard to the planned results, at the end of the learning process the students will have to demonstrate:

- Knowledge and understanding about the fundamental aspects of the institutions of private law studied, placing them in relation with the axiology of the Italian legal system.

- Applying knowledge and understanding: students are able to use principles, categories and the contents of the Course to understand doctrinal issues or to elaborate pratical solutions regarding concrete legal cases.

- Making judgements: students are able to demonstrate skill in the analysis of principles, categories and topics studied.

- Communication skills: students are able to adequately communicate and clearly explain the contents of the Course and the results of the study, by using a proper legal language.

- Learning skills: students must master the disciplinary, conceptual and operational tools in order to independently apply and update the acquired knowledge.

Students are also able to link - using normative, jurisprudential and doctrinal sources - what they have learned in the context of other teachings of the Degree course.
