During the Master’s courses I had the chance to meet various professors and professionals from different fields, often not related to law but to economics and administration. They were all competent – some more than the others – and gave previous insights on how the industry works and how to deal with everyday struggles you might come across in your personal work experience: this helped me to develop hard and soft skills I didn’t have and I weren’t taught to me during university.
That being said, there are three major things I didn’t like: organization, communication and the traineeships programs.
They lacked almost everything when it came to communicating with the students and we often had to ask ourselves about things they were supposed to communicate beforehand.
The organization of the courses wasn’t very good either, with lessons that were occasionally postponed or meant to be on campus that took place online with no communication whatsoever – it happened four times.
The traineeship programs didn’t meet my expectations either because the stage offers I received were not related to what I was studying and they didn’t give me the chance to further develop the skills I was hoping to.
Overall, my experience was good but the courses need to be organized better and they need to improve both the communication and traineeships program.
