Diritto Canonico

During the second and third year of the License, students must attend some optional courses, until they reach a minimum of 25 ECTS.

Some of these courses are theoretical in nature, others practical; they are taught by professors of the Faculty, by Judges of the Roman Rota and of diocesan tribunals, by Officials of the Roman Curia and by Rota Lawyers; they aim to allow students to acquire the most suitable training for future pastoral tasks (judges, chancellors of the curia, lawyers and defenders of the marital bond, etc.).

The second cycle is a three year program. Upon satisfactory completion of the course the School awards the student with a Licentiate in Canon Law. All the required courses are offered each year so that a student may begin this cycle studying the core subjects of the curriculum in Canon Law, thus allowing a successive deeper study of the various branches of canonical knowledge.
