Máster Universitario en Abogacía + Curso de especialización en Derecho Penal económico

Junto al Máster en Abogacía, el Curso de Especialización en Derecho Penal Económico se adentra en esta especialidad dentro del derecho penal, cuya elaboración no se limita al desarrollo y al estudio de los delitos considerados económicos, sino que también se ha extendido a aspectos metodológicos: la extensión del derecho penal económico, su fundamento conceptual, el desarrollo técnico y teórico sobre aspectos de la parte general del derecho penal económico, la medida en la que la sanción penal se extiende a conductas que implican la infracción de normas esenciales en la vida económica, y especialmente en la responsabilidad de la empresa respecto al mercado y a la administración, y en la responsabilidad de quienes tienen deberes de fidelidad respecto a los intereses de la misma empresa

        Academic Calendar

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

        Why UAO CEU?

        1. Employability and international outlook

        94.7% of our students find employment at the end of their studies (AQU 2023 labour market insertion survey).. Students acquire the linguistic and cultural knowledge they need to work anywhere in the world.

        2. Professionalisation

        Law 34/2006, of 30th October, which enables lawyers and solicitors to practise, 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 mentored internship.

        In response to this new regulatory framework for teaching law and practising 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.

        Along with the Master's in Legal Profession, the Specialisation Course in Economic Criminal Law is not limited to just the study of financial crimes. It also covers methodological aspects: the scope of economic criminal law, its conceptual foundations, the technical and theoretical aspects and the extent to which criminal penalties cover infringements of basic economic rules. It focuses specifically on corporate responsibility regarding the market and administration, and the liability of those who have duties of care to the interests of the company.

        3. Experience

        We have been training lawyers since 1973. We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia. 

        4. Preparation for entering the legal profession

        All students taking 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.

        5. Methodology

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

        • lectures by prestigious legal experts
        • seminars based on real case studies
        • workshops on practical and communicative skills and abilities
        • a complete and practical programme led by expert legal practitioners on the subject: judges, magistrates, attorneys, lawyers and university professors.

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

        6. Professional development

        The Master's in Legal Profession and the Specialisation Course in Economic Criminal Law offer an internship programme with reputable firms specialising in regulatory compliance consulting. The Talent&Work Area at UAO CEU offers a vast jobs market and advice for entrepreneurs.

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

        7. Teaching staff

        Our teaching staff is made up of academics, lawyers, magistrates and other figures from the legal world selected based on their career, prestige and educational skills. 

        8. Information resources

        The Library Service was created to support study and research with the aim of meeting all educational and scientific needs. 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.
