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.
Note:
This qualification is currently undergoing reform to adapt to Law 15/2021, of October 23, which amends Law 34/2006, of October 30, and unifies access to the professions of Lawyer and Court Clerk, as well as Royal Decree 64/2023, of February 8, which develops the aforementioned Law. For this reason, it is possible that modifications may occur in the structure and content of the curriculum.

¿Cómo sé si el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE es para mí?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE es para ti si te interesa el Derecho, pero quieres desarrollar tu carrera en un entorno internacional y no limitarte a un ejercicio exclusivamente nacional.
Es una buena opción si te atraen los despachos internacionales, las empresas con actividad global o las operaciones entre distintos países.
También encaja si valoras una formación práctica desde el principio y quieres entender pronto cómo se trabaja de verdad en la profesión.
¿Qué diferencia al Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE de un grado tradicional en Derecho?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE se diferencia de un grado tradicional en que no espera al final de la carrera para acercarte a la profesión ni a la dimensión internacional del Derecho.
Desde el principio combina base jurídica, enfoque práctico y una orientación clara hacia el trabajo en despachos y empresas con actividad internacional.
Mientras que un grado convencional suele centrarse en el estudio teórico del Derecho, este programa combina formación académica con una aproximación real al ejercicio profesional en despachos internacionales.
Además, no te limitarás a memorizar normativa jurídica, sino que aprender cómo se aplican esos conocimientos en contextos reales, lo que facilita tu transición al mundo profesional.
¿Merece la pena estudiar el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE merece la pena si buscas una formación jurídica con más recorrido profesional que un grado generalista.
La combinación entre Derecho, práctica y enfoque internacional te permite construir un perfil más específico desde el principio.
Eso no garantiza nada por sí solo, pero sí te sitúa mejor si quieres acceder a entornos donde se valoran la visión global, el inglés jurídico y la capacidad de trabajar con operaciones y clientes internacionales.
¿Qué salidas profesionales tiene el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE te orienta hacia salidas como despachos internacionales, departamentos jurídicos de multinacionales, asesoramiento mercantil internacional o consultoría jurídica con actividad transfronteriza.
También te prepara para trabajar en operaciones como contratos internacionales, expansión de empresas o coordinación jurídica entre distintos países.
La clave no es simplemente “salir al extranjero”, sino desarrollar un perfil que tenga sentido en organizaciones con una operativa global.
¿Voy a tener prácticas en el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE incluye prácticas porque una formación así no tendría sentido sin contacto real con la profesión.
Las prácticas te permiten ver cómo trabaja un despacho, cómo se organizan los asuntos y qué se espera de un perfil junior.
Más que un trámite final, son una forma de comprobar si ese entorno encaja contigo y de llegar al mercado laboral con una referencia práctica que te ayude a orientarte mejor.
¿Qué tipo de profesores voy a tener en el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE cuenta con profesores vinculados al ejercicio profesional, especialmente en despachos y entornos jurídicos internacionales.
Eso significa que muchas clases no se quedan en la teoría, sino que aterrizan en cómo se plantea un asunto, cómo se trabaja con un cliente o cómo se enfoca una operación real.
Para un alumno, esto marca bastante la diferencia entre estudiar Derecho y empezar a entender cómo se ejerce
¿Qué tipo de alumno suele elegir este programa?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE suele atraer a estudiantes con interés en el Derecho, pero también con ambición de moverse en un entorno más internacional, más exigente y más orientado a negocio.
No hace falta llegar con una vocación cerrada, pero sí ayuda tener curiosidad por la empresa, por los idiomas y por cómo funciona la profesión fuera de un marco puramente académico.
Suele encajar bien en perfiles que buscan recorrido y diferenciación.
¿Es muy difícil estudiar el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE exige trabajo, constancia y capacidad para moverte entre contenidos jurídicos y enfoque internacional.
No es un programa para pasar de puntillas, pero tampoco está planteado para que todo dependa de memorizar.
La ventaja es que el enfoque práctico ayuda a entender mejor por qué estudias cada materia y para qué puede servirte después.
Si buscas una formación cómoda, quizá no sea tu programa. Si buscas una formación con sentido profesional, sí puede serlo.
¿En qué idioma se estudia el Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE se desarrolla en un entorno que exige familiaridad con el inglés y con una lógica internacional del trabajo jurídico.
Más allá del idioma concreto de las clases o de parte del contenido, lo importante es que el programa te prepara para moverte en contextos donde el inglés jurídico y la documentación internacional forman parte de la realidad profesional.
Si quieres trabajar en un entorno global, esa exposición al inglés importa.
¿Qué tipo de trabajo puedo conseguir después del Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE?
El Grado en Derecho + Máster en Abogacía Internacional de ISDE te orienta hacia trabajos en despachos internacionales, departamentos legales de empresas con actividad exterior, asesoramiento mercantil o entornos donde el componente internacional tenga peso real.
No te cierra a una sola salida, pero sí perfila tu candidatura hacia puestos donde se valore una base jurídica sólida con proyección internacional.
Eso te ayuda a no llegar al mercado como “uno más” entre perfiles jurídicos generalistas.
