Introduction

The Professional Orientation Seminar (SOP) is designed to provide the student with knowledge and tools for their first approach to the professional environment. From a practical perspective, this module is incorporated into the Master's calendar at the beginning of the program. In this way, students have sufficient information and knowledge so that they can face recruiting processes throughout the academic year with the aim of joining internships in the month of June. This module is instrumental and essential to take the external internship on the 2nd and 3rd semester.

The training activities that will be carried out for the compulsory subjects are:

  • Lecture (CM): The faculty expounds the most relevant theory of the subject to reinforce knowledge of the bachelor’s degree and ensure a correct performance in other training activities.
  • Case preparation and/or simulations (PCS): Prior to the face-to-face class. Carried out individually or in groups. It will allow the student to participate appropriately in the discussion of the assumption or in the performance of the simulation.

 

The teaching methodologies to be used in compulsory subjects are as follows:

  • Theory class (CT): Method with which the faculty provides the most substantial theoretical aspects of the subject to reinforce the knowledge already acquired in the undergraduate degree and ensure a correct performance in the other training activities.
  • Simulation of professional situations (MSEP): The recreation of all kinds of possible situations taken from real cases of professional performance, in legal advice or in forensic practice. After adequate preparation and supervision the student is required to carry out the exercise themselves, individually or collectively, before a teacher who will accompany them during the exercise and then evaluate it.
