STRUCTURE
The syllabus for this Double Master's degree is structured around three teaching terms and a compulsory work placement for which students will obtain 43 ECTS of the University Master's degree in International Advocacy and 75 ECTS corresponding to the University master's degree in Legal Practice and Representation.
The 118 total credits on the dual syllabus are broken down as follows:
- In the first term, first part of the International Advocacy specialization composed of compulsory subjects (9 ECTS in total, in afternoon classes), and more specialized elective subjects (18 ECTS to enroll between the 1st and 2nd semester, also in the afternoon). This electives are grouped in Intensification modules*, which will enable the students to choose one out of the two pre-defined paths: Transactional and Dispute Resolution.
- In the second term compulsory subjects on the Legal Practice and Representation course corresponding to the main part of this degree (30 ECTS in total in morning classes) and a second phase of the International Advocacy specialization (8 compulsory ECTS and the rest of ECTS of elective subjects, in the afternoons), including the Master's Thesis.
- In the third and final term, one compulsory subject on the Legal Practice and Representation course corresponding to the main part of this degree (9 ECTS in morning classes), the guided external work placement designed for students to acquire the skills and abilities needed to exercise the profession of law, and completing the final dissertations for the Legal Practice and Representation master's degrees.
32 of your ECTS credits will be recognized and at the end of the course you will have obtained two official Master's qualifications.
