Exchange programs

The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Entry profile

The Dual Degrees or Double Degrees in Law-Economics and Law-Business Administration aim to offer students an education that is comprehensive but mixed or heterogeneous. Thus, due to this mixed or heterogeneous component, in the educational stage just prior to this, students need to have had a mixed focus: both humanities oriented (especially useful for the subjects corresponding to the Law degree, although not absolutely essential), and a good education in mathematics (for later development and extension in the various subjects corresponding to the degrees in Economics and Business Administration). In any case, students must have a good disposition for logical and abstract reasoning and a clear capability for critical reasoning.

It is no less important that they enter University with an entrepreneurial spirit and clear enthusiasm for learning and applying knowledge. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that the students are aware that daily work (and not just class attendance) is what will enable them to reach the objectives sought with the Dual Degrees. Also a good capacity for oral and written expression and analysis and synthesis are required.

Graduated profile

Due to the mixed component of the Dual Degrees or Double Degrees in Law-Economics and Law-Business Administration, this comprehensive education the graduate profile is tremendously versatile.

Dual Degree graduates can work professionally both in the public and private sectors. In this respect, they have the advantages inherent in holding two official degrees, and, depending on their preference, they can orient their professional career towards the fields of law or economics-business or both, as they have knowledge that those who only hold one degree do not have.

Thus, the profile of graduates, on the one hand, is identical to that of Law Degree graduates and, with the exception of lawyers or prosecutors (given that as of 2011 Law graduates will no longer be able to enter these professions directly from an undergraduate degree, but will have to do a postgraduate degree), they can carry out all those professional activities related to the legal world. The enormous number of competitive examinations open to graduates is especially noteworthy. These are examinations in areas such as judicature, notaries, prosecution, state legal service, etc…. for which, in some cases, knowledge in Economics and/or Business Administration can prove very useful and place them in a privileged position in comparison with their competitors.

Furthermore, focusing on the economics-business branch, graduates leave the University with the possibility of carrying out any job within the area of business management or management of public institutions, not to mention that they also have sufficient capability to create and manage their own companies. And, in the same way, the rigorous legal knowledge they have will make it possible for them to professionally advise companies on legal matters from a more privileged position than their competitors.
