At Esade, you don’t come to memorise laws—you come to master them. Here, you combine legal excellence with business DNA, tailoring your path in fields that are shaping the future, such as Law 4.0, sport and the pharmaceutical sector. Forget overcrowded lectures: you’ll learn in small groups through a practical learning by doing approach, tackling real challenges side by side with leading law firms. With a truly international outlook and multilingual training, you’ll develop the distinctive, global profile that today’s market is looking for. You choose the path; we give you the tools to make a difference from day one. Here’s how:
As well as graduating in Law, you can tailor your degree through a range of optional pathways in a legal field with strong career prospects, broadening your opportunities. These are our specialisations:
- Disruptive Technologies (Law 4.0)
- Food and Pharmaceutical Law
- Law and Sport
The Esade Careers team will work with you from day one to identify your goals and map out a path to achieve them. Every year, leading law firms and companies also visit Esade to present job and internship opportunities. The result? 99% of our graduates are employed within 3 months of completing the Master’s Degree in Legal Practice (MUA).
At Esade, we believe that international law is best learned through first-hand experience. That’s why we’ve designed the programme for you to go on exchange in your fourth year. We also offer optional international programmes at prestigious institutions such as Sciences Po (Paris), as well as a study tour to Brussels and Luxembourg.
A relatively small cohort of around 50 students allows you to work in small groups, with close support from faculty and the Esade Careers team. This personalised approach will support your academic progress and professional development.
Esade has two schools: the Business School and the Law School. Each draws on the other’s expertise, and you’ll benefit from this as a student, as legal issues often have a business dimension too. That’s why we include subjects such as economics, finance and accounting, giving you additional expertise that law firms highly value.
The best way to learn law is to put it into practice. Here, you’ll work on cases and mock trials, and you can take part in debating leagues and international moot courts. Through the 360º Legal Exercise, you’ll also work on a case over two academic years, applying the legal knowledge you acquire along the way before presenting and defending your case before a panel.
The degree is taught in Spanish, with English introduced progressively. English is a compulsory subject throughout the degree, and you’ll focus specifically on legal terminology in the Legal English course. You can also add a third or fourth language: French, German, Mandarin or Arabic.
