Degree in Law + International Law Certificate

At Abat Oliba CEU University, studying Law goes far beyond textbooks. From your very first year, you’re trained to think and work like a real legal professional — analysing real cases, building arguments, and seeing how justice works outside the classroom. The learning environment is highly practical and personal, with small class groups, modern HyFlex classrooms, and close guidance from professors who have real legal experience. By the time you graduate, you won’t just understand the law — you’ll know how to apply it with confidence in professional settings:

Here’s how you gain hands-on legal experience during the programme:

• Compulsory professional internship — In your final year, you’ll work directly with law firms, public institutions, or legal organisations, gaining real workplace experience and building your professional network.

• Moot courts & mock trials — You’ll practise courtroom procedures through simulated trials and internal legal clinics that strengthen your advocacy, reasoning, and public speaking skills.

• Real case method — Many classes are built around analysing real legal cases, helping you develop the decision-making and analytical mindset employers look for.

• Court and institution visits — Guided visits to courts and legal institutions allow you to observe legal proceedings firsthand and understand how the justice system operates in practice.

• Workshops & legal seminars — You’ll participate in practical sessions on legal rhetoric, negotiation, and specialised areas like international arbitration, often led by working professionals.

• International exposure opportunities — Through the international pathway, students may join academic trips to major legal and political hubs such as Brussels and Geneva, attend global conferences, or study abroad for a semester.

• Modern digital learning environment — HyFlex-enabled classrooms and digital academic platforms let you learn interactively in flexible, tech-supported settings.

• Personal mentoring & career guidance — Dedicated tutors and career advisors support you throughout your degree, with access to thousands of partner organisations for internships and placements.

📍 Campus & Facilities: You’ll study on a beautiful historic campus in Barcelona that blends classic architecture with modern learning spaces, dedicated study areas, advanced classrooms, and strong academic support services designed for law and social sciences students.
