Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Assistance and active participation are compulsory for all lectures.
The course is based on active learning sessions moderated by the teacher where the students will critically discuss the topics of the session.

The course is organised in:
- a series of topics setting the essential elements of sensitive trade control regimes (dual-use items, weapons, diamonds, cultural goods)
- Cases studies
- Possible contributions and presentations made by regulators and industries
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
