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

Recommended profile

While it may not be absolutely essential, it seems appropriate that during their Bachiller studies, students will have tended towards the Humanities and have had some in-depth contact with Language, History, Philosophy and Ethics, as well as a certain level of proficiency in a foreign language. In addition, to avoid their having difficulties with certain legal subjects, a minimum level of Maths is also advisable.

It is also desirable that, on commencing their degree studies, students possess the following skills and abilities to some extent:

• Oral and written expression
• Abstraction and understanding of conceptual categories
• Systematization and logical ordering criteria
• Critical reasoning
• Analysis and synthesis
• Integration of different kinds of knowledge

Application for a place in the degree

Graduate profile

When setting the objectives of this Law degree, the authors have taken into account the professional responsibilities which, as long as there are no changes in the law, our future graduates are likely to assume.

Under the law 34/2006, lawyers and barristers will no longer legally have direct access to the profession with this degree but will need to obtain a Master.  However, there are other important missions of social relevance – among which the judiciary, the district attorney, the Attorney General or diplomatic career are good examples- which graduates can choose without requiring any other qualifications apart from their degree and passing the corresponding selection procedures. For this reason, given the general nature of the state examination system, independently of its undoubted rigour, special preparation for these exams could open up doors to highly desirable positions in the judiciary system. Also, the design and requirements imposed by this degree will enable our graduates to successfully meet advisory roles in the private sphere: corporate lawyer, advisor or legal counsel, consulting, lawyer associations and public organizations, etc.

This is one problem which cannot be solved, at least for now, through the transfer of a substantial part of this essential training to Postgraduate studies, since at present it is neither required as a condition for carrying out such important functions nor is this anticipated in the short term. Hence, when designing this Law degree, we wished to preserve a certain level of exigency and density, in order to ensure that our graduates are able to face adequately the demanding challenges posed by some of the professions they may wish to pursue immediately upon graduating. However, it is clear that there is another wide spectrum of professional areas for which the demands of the labour market will make students realise the necessity of completing their education with postgraduate studies.
