The Official Master's degree in Administrative Management offered by Abat Oliba CEU University and the Catalan Higher Institute of Administrative Management (ISGAC) —a non-profit organisation set up by the Official College of Administrative Managers of Catalonia—, provides official postgraduate training that prepares students to work as administrative managers. The course is specially adapted to cover the legal functions involved in the profession meaning.

Given the comprehensive nature of the course, the Official College of Administrative Managers of Catalonia exempts students who have passed the master's degree from taking the state entry exam to practise in the field, and allows them to register as soon as they have completed it.

Likewise, this Master's Degree covers the new technical requirements that derive from the implementation of new information technologies, as well as the new requirements in terms of the advisory role of administrative managers, especially in the case of companies. It also provides students with the knowledge they need of finances and accounting not normally required to enter the profession given the fact they are mainly legal in nature.
