        Official Master’s Degree in LEGAL PROFESSION
         

        We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia

        Why UAO CEU?

        1. Professionalisation

        Law 34/2006, of 30th October, regulating access to the lawyer and solicitor professions, introduced the requirement for additional professional training beyond that of university level prior to admission to the bar.

        This additional training must consist of an entry (bar) exam after earning 60 ECTS credits through courses accredited by the Ministry of Justice and 30 ECTS credits from a tutored internship.

        In response to this new regulatory framework for teaching law and preparing to practise as a lawyer, Abat Oliba CEU University offers this legally required additional training in the form of a master's. It is a professional pathway that offers not only subjects directly related to legal practice, but also important subjects with transferable skills, such as ethics, negotiation and promotion of equality and human rights.

        Alongside the Official Double Master's in Maritime Law, you will immerse yourself in the international maritime legal system and the world of shipping import and export. 90% of all trade on the planet takes place over the oceans, making it a powerful international industry.

        The master's trains students in aspects of maritime law and business based on Spanish and English legislation, as the vast majority of contracts in the shipping industry are subject to Common Law. This acts as a de facto international legal framework for an industry which is key to worldwide economic development. 

        2. Experience

        We have been training lawyers since 1973. We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia. Similarly, the Master's in Maritime Law is one of the longest-running master's at the University, and is now in its 8th year.

        3. Preparation for entering the legal profession

        All students on the Master's have personal access to Legal Quiz by the Lefebvre publishing house, a database with more than 1,500 questions similar to those asked on the bar exam, as well as two digital books: Memento Acceso a la Abogacía and Memento Ejercicio Profesional de la Abogacía.

        4. Methodology

        The Master's in Legal Profession is taught through a system combining three simultaneous methodologies: 

        • lectures by prestigious jurists
        • seminars based on real case studies
        • workshops on practical and communicative skills and abilities

        Special emphasis is placed on soft skills as a key tool for future practising lawyers.

        The Official Master's Degree in Maritime law is a bilingual programme with 60% of sessions in Spanish and 40% in English, in line with the demands of the sector. Students also acquire the linguistic and cultural knowledge necessary to work anywhere in the world.

        5. Further education
        • European Port Experience: advanced study programmes on port management and business. It includes a four-day study trip to the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg, two of the biggest in the world, as well as the Port of Barcelona, the third biggest in the world for cruise ships. All costs for the trip (flights and accommodation) are included in the course.
        • IATA DGR Course Cat. 3: the course is taught alongside the master's programme and focuses on the regulations of transporting hazardous goods by air. Upon completion of the course, students may request the official IATA certificate.
        • The master's also includes group visits to businesses and institutions that give students a practical understanding of the different modules in the programme.
        6. Professional development

        This double master's offers internships with major firms and businesses within the logistics and trade sector, both nationally and internationally. The Talent&Work Area at UAO CEU offers a vast job market and entrepreneurship advice.

        UAO CEU currently has links with more than 2,300 companies with internship placements in more than 20 countries.

        7. Teaching staff

        The teaching staff comprises academics, lawyers, magistrates and other experts from the legal world, chosen for their career achievements, prestige and teaching ability. There are also teachers with vast professional experience in the areas of logistics, transport and international business.

        8. Employability and international outlook

        CEU postgraduates have a 95% average employment rate. Students acquire the linguistic and cultural knowledge necessary to work anywhere in the world.

        9. Information resources

        The Library Service was created to support study and research with the aim of meeting all educational and scientific demands. It has extensive opening hours, including weekends, and is equipped with the latest technology.

        UAO CEU also gives the university community a digital repository containing open-access publications including teaching materials, faculty and institutional research and work by students and alumni of the University.
