During your stay, you can also contact the Teaching Manager, Mr Luca Antonucci (luca.antonucci@unife.it) and the Erasmus Tutor, a student working part-time for the University. Erasmus Tutors are available in office hours at the Welcome Office and will occasionally be present at the Department to meet incoming students.
]]>If you are interested in taking foundational courses in Italian, you may wish to consider selecting courses from the Bachelor’s Degree curriculum, rather than their equivalent of the Single-Cycle curriculum. The former earn fewer ECTS, and are therefore less demanding.
Please note: some optional courses in Italian are only offered at our Rovigo site. However, it will be possible to attend online.
The official, complete list of courses for the three curricula of the Department of law is published in June every year for the next academic year. For updated information on the three curricula please see below.
 | A Single-Cycle Degree in Law, in Ferrara |

The Department of Law organizes numerous conferences and seminars every year, both in Italian and in foreign languages, thus complementing the curricular educational offer.
While participation is always free, check te Home page of the Department for an updated calendar of events.

Macrocrimes - Centre for European Legal Studies on Macro-Crime
Macrocrimes was established at the Department of Law of the University of Ferrara in November 2018, within the framework of a project leading to its acknowledgment as one of the best Departments in Italy in terms of research quality (“Dipartimenti di eccellenza”).
The Centre for European Legal Studies on Macro-Crime focuses on the legal aspects relating to the fight against “macro-crime”, a notion ranging from core crimes – such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression – to crimes entailing grave breaches of fundamental rights, crimes linked to immigration and organized, mafia-type, terrorist and transnational crime, from economic crime to environmental and food crime.
