Monash Law Prato Program, Italy
In a globalised world, lawyers are increasingly expected to be able to solve transnational legal problems and to utilise opportunities beyond their home jurisdictions. Monash law graduates will be asked to function in a modern and increasingly integrated legal world which is structurally different from the professional environment of their predecessors.
The objective of the Prato Program, established in 2001, is to tackle these challenges by internationalising the law curriculum. Every year, the Prato Program brings together faculty and students from universities from around the world to Palazzo Vaj in Tuscany and offers students the chance to acquire and develop skills and perspectives that they will need as lawyers operating in a modern legal environment. By providing a multicultural and transnational setting for teaching and learning, the Prato Program gives students the unique opportunity to learn about different legal traditions, systems and procedures, allowing them to gain skills and perspectives that will characterise their future years of learning and developing in the legal profession.
Monash Law School conducts a full semester of law studies in Italy at the Monash University Prato Centre located near Florence in the beautiful Tuscan region of Italy. The program runs in semester one each year and students may undertake up to four undergraduate units. All units are taught intensively in English by academics from Monash University and other partner institutions including Osgoode Hall, York University in Canada, Florence University in Italy and Tel Aviv University in Israel.
