The goal is to acquaint students to the origins of Social Security Law, the different ways of conceiving a social protection model, and to study, in particular, the Portuguese social security system. In this context, students should understand the scope (and limits) of constitutional protection, as well as know the principles that guide the Portuguese social security system and its structure. They will then be capable to study and apply the legal regime of the different legal social security relationships. Apart from obtaining a theoretical basis, it is intended that students become able to solve practical situations. They will develop skills to understand the policies that underlie the different models of Social Security; know the basics of Portuguese Social Security system; perceive and frame the different systems, subsystems and social security schemes; know the main law that governs social protection in Portugal; solve practical issues.
