Through different learning activities (case studies, oral presentations, text analysis, and summarising the content of lectures) students should develop a critical sense, professional autonomy and the knowledge in each of the different subject areas of the course. Additionally, particular sensitivity to human rights and civil liberties is very important in this course.
