Official Master’s Degree in LEGAL PROFESSION
 

We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia

Why UAO CEU?

1. Professionalisation

Law 34/2006, of 30th October, regulating access to the lawyer and solicitor professions, introduced the requirement for additional professional training beyond university level prior to admission to the bar.

This additional training must consist of an entry (bar) exam after earning 60 ECTS credits through courses accredited by the Ministry of Justice and 30 ECTS credits from a tutored internship.

In response to this new regulatory framework for teaching law and preparing to practise as a lawyer, Abat Oliba CEU University offers this legally required additional training in the form of a master's. It is a professional pathway that offers not only subjects directly related to legal practice, but also important subjects with transferable skills, such as ethics, negotiation and promotion of equality and human rights.

Alongside the Official Double Master's in Legal Profession + Administrative Management, you can begin work as an administrative manager without the need to take the public entry exam for the profession, with content adapted to cover legally established roles. The Council of the Official Administrative Managers Association of Catalonia exempts graduates of this master's from the state professional entry test and provides immediate accreditation upon finishing the course.

Double Master's students can therefore join the two associations and offer the key services to set up their own firm.

2. Experience

We have been training lawyers since 1973. We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia.

3. Preparation for entering the legal profession

All students on the Master's have personal access to Legal Quiz by the Lefebvre publishing house, a database with more than 1,500 questions similar to those asked on the bar exam, as well as two digital books: Memento Acceso a la Abogacía and Memento Ejercicio Profesional de la Abogacía.

4. Methodology

The Master's in the Legal Profession is taught through a system combining three simultaneous methodologies:

  • lectures by prestigious jurists
  • seminars based on real case studies
  • workshops on practical and communicative skills and abilities

It features case studies from national and international businesses. Special emphasis is placed on soft skills as a key tool for future practising lawyers.

5. Professional development

The double master's offers internships in major offices and businesses within the logistics and trade sector, both nationally and internationally. The Talent&Work Area at UAO CEU offers a vast job market and entrepreneurship advice.

UAO CEU currently has links with more than 2,300 companies with internship placements in more than 20 countries.

6. Teaching staff

Our teaching staff comprises academics, lawyers, magistrates and other figures from the legal world selected based on their career, prestige and educational skills.

7. Employability and international outlook

CEU postgraduates have a 95% average employment rate. Students acquire the linguistic and cultural knowledge necessary to work anywhere in the world.

8. Information resources

The Library Service was created to support study and research with the aim of meeting all educational and scientific demands. It has long opening hours, including weekends, and is equipped with the latest technology.

UAO CEU also gives the university community a digital repository containing open-access publications including teaching materials, faculty and institutional research and work by students and alumni of the University.
