Your global legal career starts today.

The Access Program for the Master’s Degree in International Legal Practice is designed for those aspiring to build a career with a global outlook and tackle the legal challenges of an interconnected world. This program provides a solid foundation in the main branches of law applied to transnational contexts, enabling you to understand the dynamics, principles, and tools that govern legal practice beyond a single jurisdiction.

With a professional practice–oriented methodology and real-case analysis, you will develop the skills to interpret, apply, and adapt regulations in complex international environments, anticipate legal risks, and provide strategic solutions that add value in multicultural and multifaceted scenarios. This preparation positions you to progress confidently toward advanced specialization, strengthening your professional profile in international law firms, multilateral organizations, global companies, and legal projects with impact across multiple jurisdictions.

Introduction and objectives

The sum of these two degrees gives the student an advantageous position in the legal market.

The Access to the Legal Profession program guarantees its students quality training not only to pass the state exam for access to the profession, which is compulsory for registration, but also to begin their professional career with the knowledge and skills necessary to practice with all the guarantees required by the profession.

The Master in International Law offers an eminently practical training in which you will learn to apply the law from an international perspective. The program includes languages, practical subjects such as negotiation techniques or public speaking and several law modules that put a special emphasis on those issues of an international nature.

After completing the academic phase of both programs, students do their internship in one of ISDE’s partner firms in their area of specialization. This second phase means a real integration within the host firm since the student will be immersed with the rest of the team from the very first moment.

04 .

Career Opportunities

The Master in International Law opens up a wide range of professional opportunities. On the one hand, because its study plan does not stick to a specific area of the law, but deals with all those legal specialties that may have an international component. On the other hand, because both commercial activity and public and private relations no longer understand borders.

In short, this is one of our most recognized masters worldwide and also one of the most professional opportunities.

After obtaining your degree, you will be able to practice law in many different areas:

  • Law firms and consultancies in all areas of law (commercial, civil, tax, labour, administrative, industrial and intellectual property, European law, public international law, real estate, corporate, procedural, criminal or international commercial law, among others).
  • Legal departments of national and international companies.
  • Staff of international bodies such as the European Union, the UN or the European Free Trade Association.
  • Other types of entities, such as foundations or NGOs, that carry out their activities in an international environment.
  • Teaching and research areas.

Second phase

INTERNSHIPS FOR THE PRACTICE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION

Once the first phase of the program is completed, the student will have the necessary tools and instruments to practice law.

To deepen and demonstrate these practical skills, in the second phase, students join law firms, both national and international. There, they are guided by a lawyer-tutor who introduces them to the firm’s working mechanics and the legal matters in which the student will participate.

The student’s placement is determined by the Master’s Direction based on academic results, the analysis of each student’s personal profile, and the requirements set by the law firms themselves. This ensures the success of the internships and proper guidance for the student.

MASTER’S THESIS

Through the Master’s Thesis, the student has the opportunity to delve deeper into a topic of their interest, applying the knowledge acquired and their problem-solving ability in new or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts related to their area of study. This means that the student must integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments from incomplete or limited information, which includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.

Master of access to the practice of law

The cloister will be composed of:

– University teaching staff, with preference for those who can demonstrate experience in professional practice, for example, by being members of the Law Firm and in any case with permanent and stable links with the Universidad Carlos III and the Il.lustre Col.legi d’Advocats deTerrassa.

– Practising lawyers with more than three years of professional experience, belonging to the companies and professional offices that collaborate with the Course. For the selection of these professionals, ISDE counts on the experience of its many years of teaching similar programs, which has allowed it to select not only those who are the most outstanding specialists in the different branches of law, but also those who have demonstrated their capacity to transmit to the students the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in their professional practice.

This combination of the teaching staff of one of the most prestigious universities and of professionals with a well-earned reputation in the professional and teaching field, guarantees that the students are in the best hands for their training as top-level lawyers.
