Labour Law and Labour Process

Classes will be taught through the exposition of theoretical contents and their practical application.
Teaching and learning methodologies aim at the integrated development of students in the knowledge referred to in the syllabus and the
achievement of established objectives and skills. The use of a continuous assessment system implies active participation by students in
terms of study and oral intervention on the subjects taught. The teacher/student and student/student dialectic is accentuated, creating
synergies of bi-directional communication aimed at reflection and discussion.
At the same time, we seek to resolve specific legal problems, with the aim of providing students with very close contact with legal reality.
The uc also offers lectures related to its themes.

a) Define the scope and object of Labor Law and recognize the sources of Labor Law;
