The course seeks to achieve three main objectives:

2) Students will learn to correctly distinguish and understand the different legal techniques that public administrations use when undertaking their activities.
3) Students will gain an interdisciplinary and contingent vision of the change processes to which public administrations continually have to adapt.

Teaching-learning methodology: Lectures, case studies and completion of exercises/problems.

Teaching modes: theoretical classes, practical classes, tutorials, readings and jurisprudence analysis.

The teaching methodology in this course is based on the following premises:

1) Preparatory work by the students: reading up on the subject being studied in any of the recommended textbooks with the aim of acquiring an initial understanding of it and identifying those aspects that raise difficulties so that the lecture classes can be used to clarify these issues.
2) Close attention paid to the lecture classes so that students can identify the relevant aspects of each subject, check any doubts that arise and relate the content to other subjects. The classes seek to provide conceptual frameworks and re-frame the problems of the application of a legal framework on the basis of the analysis of the most relevant jurisprudence as well as fostering debates on current issues.
3) An appropriate use of the documentation handed out for the study of each subject which complements the textbooks and the notes made by each student.
4) Individual completion of practical case studies through which the ability to prioritise relevant information and the manner of clearly transmitting ideas be will assessed.
