2. Pre-Requisites
No previous studies needed. However, it is advisable to have previously completed and passed the subject "Introduction to Law: regulations and effectiveness".
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
As stated in the Report of the Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources, the importance of work in the economic, political and cultural spheres, as well as the complexity of this phenomenon, gives rise to the need to approach it from very different scientific perspectives: economic, psychological, sociological; but also the legal-administrative one.
Thus, and based on this premise, the subject "The activity of the Administration and the administrative procedure", which is taught in the first year of the Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources, aims to offer a theoretical-practical approach to the concept, evolution, history, system of sources and organization of the Administration, moving through the administrative procedure and acts, as well as the control mechanisms of public acts and decisions.
To the above we must add that the basic knowledge achieved in this subject will allow a better understanding of other academic disciplines other than the strictly legal ones and that they must also be studied by the students of the Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources. It also offers them valuable horizontal tools for the development of the profession.
On balance, whether due to its "direct" relevance (as a branch of Law) or "indirect" (related to other legal, extra-legal or professional realities), the inclusion of the subject " The activity of the Administration and the administrative procedure" in the Degree of Labor Relations and Human Resources is more than justified.
