Data Protection Law
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
The teaching pursues the primary objective of offering students the opportunity to study the rules in a strategic sector of today's society. The knowledge of the new rules on the protection of personal data is destined to become a key competence in the workplace both in the private sector and in the public sector.
The teaching methodology is necessarily multidisciplinary while moving from a constitutional legal approach.
The expected impact is to develop a good basic knowledge of data protection rules and to highlight the challenges that are looming on the horizon with particular reference to the development of artificial intelligence.
