Quality and regulations 

STUDENT PROFILE

Students should have an interest in the organisational systems of society, the configuration and organisation of political communities and the principles and norms governing personal and social relationships. They must demonstrate a curiosity for understanding the historical, philosophical and dogmatic foundations of legal systems and a concern for achieving, through their most appropriate design and application, the ideals of justice that inspire them.

They must also have the ability to analyse and understand social phenomena, diagnose them and propose solutions. They should also have analytical, synthesising and group-related skills, the capacity for comprehension and abstraction, a flair for expression, sociability, a broad vision of the world and a perspective on its possible evolution. Knowledge of another language (preferably English) is also of interest and a necessity.

OBJECTIVES

  • Practical training in technology: From artificial intelligence and blockchain to document automation tools and case management software, students learn to use technology as a strategic ally in their daily work.
  • Connect with the tech sector: Tech companies need legal experts with a practical focus on technology who can provide a legal perspective. The program not only trains students but also opens doors for them in a sector with a high demand for hybrid profiles.
  • Specialisation in digital regulations: Did you know that many of the laws governing our digital lives are unknown even to legal professionals? Here, you will learn to navigate and master these regulations, positioning yourself as a valuable expert in an increasingly relevant and in-demand legal niche.
