Master in Business Legal Advice

The Master program builds on 4 subjects with different features, contents and duration.

Firstly, a compulsory general part focused mainly on Company Law, Contractual Law, Legal and Business English and Economic and Financial Management in Businesses.

Once completed this first general module, the students acquire specific technical knowledge related to the main areas of the business legal advice, such as Uniform International Commercial Law, Labour Law, Tax Law and practice of law related to financial Markets and free competition.

The relevance of these subjects in the business legal advice profession is shown by the total number of credits and the fact that they all are compulsory.

In addition to these modules, there is a wide range of elective courses on offer that allow students to deepen their knowledge of specific aspects of business legal advice. Students must choose 12 ECTS from among the subjects offered.

Starting in June, students, on a voluntary basis, will have the opportunity to join national and international Companies, Professional Associations and Law Firms, of recognized prestige, for internships that will last a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year, depending on the needs of the receiving Entities and the students themselves. To this end, they must enroll in a course called “Extracurricular Internships”. This is an internship program that allows the orientation of students in their first steps in the labor market and has turned the Master's Degree into a unique, attractive and different option to those present in other Centers.

The curriculum is concluded with the preparation of a 6-credit master project focused on a specific subject.
