The programme's curriculum includes basic subjects (60 credits), compulsory subjects (140 credits) and optional subjects (34 credits), and offers the opportunity to undertake an internship (8 credits). It concludes with a bachelor's degree final project (6 credits), through which students demonstrate their grasp of concepts and knowledge in one or more fields of law and their acquisition of the skills no jurist can do without.
It is required to take 10 credits in English, in addition to Introduction to Common Law, in case you accessed in curses prior at 23/24. If you have accessed the course 2023/24 or following, you must take a minimum of 9 ECTS in English.
The programme is taught through a combination of lectures and seminars. Lectures are geared to passing on knowledge with a critical outlook and establishing basic concepts. Seminars, which are taught in small groups, encourage active participation, nurture problem-solving abilities and promote the use of the skills that jurists require.
The basic subjects are taught at the beginning of the course with a view to students receiving cross-disciplinary training in social sciences so as to improve their ability to understand legal phenomena. The compulsory subjects provide knowledge and skills essential to any career in the legal arena and for successfully negotiating examinations to become a lawyer or competitive examinations for the practice of other legal professions (after taking the appropriate additional training).
The curriculum also allows for a certain degree of specialization thanks to its seven optional tracks.
This programme can be studied at the same time as UPF's bachelor's degree programmes in Political and Administration Sciences or Labour Relations.
