Certificate Programme
UIC Barcelona and the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles Extension offer you the opportunity to complement your Law studies in the United States. Enjoy the American experience while gaining a qualification in Paralegal Studies. This is a specialisation programme equivalent to a Spanish postgraduate degree that will allow you to gain access to prestigious attorney's offices in the United States.
