|
The UPF Legal Studies Program, a pre-law study program for undergraduate students. This program is designed as an honours program and it aims to provide eligible top students with initial academic education and training in the area of law. The program focuses on international and European law, comparative private law and some specific legal fields with international relevance, while also giving them the opportunity to receive credit for study abroad. Unlike the North American pre-law programs, which are essentially instrumental, the UPF Pre-Law Study Abroad Program covers substantive topics at introductory level emphasizing the international perspective.
Greetings from the Dean of the Law School The program is not an ordinary preparatory course for law school admissions tests, but rather an opportunity for broadening the intellectual bases upon which to pursue a law career in international settings. Students will be introduced to the complexities of the international and EU legal order, acquire knowledge of the historical and cultural reasons for the diversity of legal systems, and become familiar with the distinctive features and the practical functioning of these systems. The program will also allow students to follow optional courses dealing with more specific areas of the law at basic levels and even to enroll in ordinary undergraduate courses of our law degree curriculum, thus having the chance to mix with our students and become actively involved in our academic life.
