Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2023-24

With this subject, students must obtain a basic legal-constitutional training in the constitutional foundations of the Spanish legal system, and the functioning of the executive, legislative and judicial powers in the social and democratic State subject to the rule of law. Likewise, they must know the main institutions of the State, the structural principles of the legal system and, especially, the system of fundamental rights and freedoms (Title I of the Constitution), and their constitutionally established guarantees. This subject thus contributes to the professional profile of the degree and to the development of the specific and generic competences of the degree, by offering knowledge of the basis of the entire legal system.
