Objectives

Unfortunately, the phenomenon of corruption is still representing a problematic issue for Italy and all the member states of the European Union, producing a turnover of approximately 120 billion euros every year.
In this regard, the Institutions of the E.U. suggested increasing attention to the implementation of preventive corruption policies (e.g., providing ethical standards, preventive measures, easy access to public interest information), internal and external control mechanisms, and the resolution of conflicts of specific interest to each member state.
Within this context, the main purpose of the Master is to analyze the main legal institutions related to anti-corruption legislation, which are debated nationally and internationally,  still causing the greatest social alarm and posing increasingly complex problems in terms of both prevention and repression. As a consequence, our national legislation has attempted to strengthen and modernize a series of repressive measures, starting with the publication of Law No. 190/2012 and its implementing decrees.
The objective of the learning pathway the is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of the anti-corruption legislation froma an administrative, criminal and international proin of view, with the purpose of providing managerial figures of the Public Administrations as well as experts and professionals in the sector with the specialized skills required to counteract any kind of corruptive phenomena.
The course will also address the study and knowledge of public procurement under Legislative Decree No. 50/2016 as amended, highlighting risk profiles and critical issues related to individual awarding procedures.
Due to its particular degree of specialization and detail, the Master's degree aims to train professional figures of great specialized expertise.
