Our Alumni
What this master’s program aims to do is bring you as close as possible to the day-to-day life of a law firm, sharing the reality of the profession in a very practical way and within a small group.
One of the things I liked most about the master’s program is that every day we had visits from professionals from the best law firms in Spain: notaries, court representatives... In addition, being able to access professional internships in major firms with the possibility of starting a professional career in one of them is a great added value.
The master’s program makes you feel the weight of the gown, be nervous, make mistakes, so that when tomorrow we have to be in a courtroom, we are prepared. I would highlight the oral exams, which help you grow and learn.
