Carrying out the final master’s work
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.
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 degree 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 Prosecutor, 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.

In compliance with current legality and, specifically, as set forth in article 4.4 of decree 84/2004, it is noted that ISDE’s programs are professionally oriented and therefore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, they are courses that do not lead to the acquisition of a title with official value, but to that of a proprietary title from ISDE.
