Information

Admission requirements:

Access to the programme of the Official Master's Degree in Business Law is conditional upon prospective students having been awarded an official Spanish university degree or another one awarded by a higher education institution which is part of the European Higher Education Area that entitles access to postgraduate studies in the relevant country.

Graduates of education systems which are not part to the European Higher Education Area may also access this Master's Degree without the need to have their degrees approved, with the prior verification by the University that they have an education level equivalent to the relevant Spanish official university degrees and they are entitled, in the degree's issuing country, to access postgraduate education. Under no circumstances shall access through this path imply that the previous degree held by the interested party has been approved or recognised for any purpose other than undertaking this Master's programme.

Admission criteria:

As a previous requisite, the student must have been admitted to the Master's Degree for Admission to the Bar in order to access the admission procedure of the Master's Degree in Business Law.

Admission criteria of the Master's Degree in Business Law are as follows:

Hold an official undergraduate's degree or equivalent with at least 180 credits of legal courses completed.
Have an average mark of Notable [remarkable] or equivalent, except if, due to their motivation, career and professional experience, admission is deemed to be appropriate;
Certify a sufficient level of English; specifically, concerning application to legal matters. Level of English may be certified either by submitting the
relevant justification documents of the level requested, or by completing an ad hoc exam, or via de relevant personal interview.
Other aspects may be also taken into account, such as certifiable knowledge of other languages or the student's professional experience.

Admission process:

The admission process to the Programme comprises the following phases:

Submission of the documents required; this will include personal and academic data which will be set out in the relevant admission request form.
Assessment, on the one hand, of the level of knowledge and understanding of the courses comprising the Degree in Law, for successful completion of the Master's Degree and, on the other hand, of their analysis capacity, oral understanding and learning progress, thus making it possible to determine whether their skills match those required for the programme.
Personal interview with the academic board of each School.

In order to make a decision on the admission of an applicant, the admission criteria will be as follows:

Approx. 60 % academic record, 10% knowledge of English and remaining 5% to other certified milestones.
25% Personal interview.

Assessment of the request for admission will be obtained from joint assessment of the different requirements. Final admission is established in function of the position of the candidate with regard of global assessment of their academic record with respect to the other candidates and with the number of places available.

Admission to the Master's Degree in Business Law of graduates, pursuant to education systems external to the European Higher Education Area will not imply, under any circumstances, changes on the academic effects regarding the previous degree held by the interested party, or recognition thereof for purposes other than taking the Master's programme courses.

Admission to the Master's Programme in Intellectual Property is undertaken by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, upon the prior non-binding report issued by the Admissions Sub-committee, comprised by the Master's Director and Coordinator.
