Testimonials
I studied the double degree in Humanities and Law to gain a broad understanding of people and the organisation of the world from a legal perspective.
Thanks to UIC Barcelona and my tutor, I was awarded a scholarship to study Law at UC Berkeley in the summer of 2022. There, in addition to my classes, I took the opportunity to learn about AI and legal technology, which allowed me to start connecting key ideas for my future.
My experience studying Law at UIC Barcelona has been very positive; the faculty is of high standard and excels in the professional world, which opens doors to future practices. Taking oral exams helps us develop useful skills for the future. Also, studying for six weeks at UC Berkeley was one of the best experiences I've had and a great opportunity to set myself apart.
