The innovative Learning by Doing Methodology based on applying knowledge is one of the pillars of Esade's Bachelor in Global Governance, Economics & Legal Order. Throughout the programme you will be immersed in practical learning experiences with the aim of developing key skills for your career such as public speaking, teamwork, searching for information, project presentations, debate and diplomacy.
Working together with your colleagues, you will solve real cases provided by multinational law firms, organisations, and departments: analysing the situation, discussing possible solutions, and applying the knowledge acquired.
Research will prepare you to be efficient in the search for information and management of sources as well as the criteria for selecting the key information needed for your strategy and legal argument.
You will practice teamwork, working with others toward a shared goal – the most common working style in the sector.
Throughout the entire degree you will work on skills and abilities that are fundamental for a modern professional in international relations, including communication, public speaking, leadership and negotiation.
In the fourth year you will finish your degree by completing a conflict-resolution project related to your specialisation, in which you must apply everything you’ve learned during the programme.
As a student of the Bachelor in Global Governance you will participate in practical experiences both inside and outside Spain that Will help you develop skills that can only be acquired by doing: preparing real cases, competing in challenges against other students, arguing, replying, preparing documentation and more.
For the first time, Esade has posed a transversal challenge among students of practically all its Degrees, in teams.
They have had to analyze the future of the automobile industry in Europe using economic tools, they have presented their projects before a jury of experts, made up of real companies and institutions, who have announced the winning group.
Esade Double Degree in Law + Global Governance, Economics & Legal Order students play an active role in important events and conferences.
In 2022, they joined leading European politicians, thought leaders and business executives, as well as international organizations such as the UN, IEA and IRENA, at the GH2 Green Hydrogen Global Assembly and Exhibition. This unprecedented gathering of stakeholders from government, the private sector and civil society was aimed at galvanizing global action to accelerate the uptake of green hydrogen. Take a look at the video to see what happened!
Work on a sustainability and renewable energy consulting project
Third- and fourth-year students have the opportunity to do a capstone module at the European Investment Bank. The EIB is the European Union’s lending arm, the world’s biggest multilateral financial institution, and one of the largest providers of climate finance.
Taking the capstone module will allow you to participate, for five months, in a sustainability and renewable energy consulting project for a company. You will work on the project throughout the subject and present it in June to a panel of EIB economists in Luxemburg.
According to one student:
“Our project consisted of using data mining and machine learning to take the pulse of the financial market. To this end, we had to code a program that would allow us to predict the movements of the S&P 500. Despite our lack of prior programming knowledge, I am proud to say that we managed to write a program that predicted the movements of the S&P 500 with an 80% accuracy rate.”

Become a diplomat and help solve a global challenge
Can you imagine participating in a United Nations session? The Model United Nations is a prestigious university competition that brings together more than 2,500 students from 120 countries to simulate a completely real session.
In the challenge, students help solve a social and political issue, working in teams representing the different countries.
Mohamed Bouzagou, an Esade Law School student, won the prestigious Diplomatic Award in the 25th edition of the Harvard World MUN for his success at the helm of the Nature Conservancy Committee, whose members are free to join and attempt to influence other committees.
