If Law deals with all the ways we interact, few things connect us in the way that Sport does. In a way, it has become a global language. Such is the power of the Law that regulates it and the professionals who work in it.
After many successful editions, ISDE’s Master in International Sports Law is considered the reference in the sector. It is a full-time Master, which combines lectures sessions on site, where you receive training from the most qualified professionals of the sector, with a second period of internships, in one of the collaborating firms, organizations or clubs.
The excellence of its training speaks volumes about the positions its former students hold today. For this reason, it is not only a training opportunity, it is a gateway into the business and the best opportunity to achieve the Networking and Business Synergies that are essential in this Industry.
START: January
DURATION: one academic year
Following a parallel development of the onsite program, the online format enables students to follow recorded lessons at their convenience.
Study materials, self-assessment test, exams, case studies and tutoring sessions necessary to guarantee the acquisition of the knowledge and abilities targeted within the programme, will be delivered according to the regular progress of the onsite teaching.
Two phases:
Support period (4-5 months long)
Contents are structured as follows:
Practical phase (3-4 months duration)
Option A (standard)
Case studies: Once they have assimilated all the knowledge of the teaching phase, students will have to carry out a series of real case studies (of a broader and more in-depth nature than those of the first phase) to accredit that they are capable of applying the knowledge acquired.
TFM: students will have to carry out a Master’s dissertation, which will allow them to improve their research skills, as well as delve into a specific area of major interest and current affairs, among those that have been worked on during the programme.
Option B (Separate contract)
Professional immersion in law firms or legal departments of large companies collaborating with ISDE (more than 250) at national and international level.
