Master in International Law ISDE Law Business School

A recent graduate or junior attorney possesses theoretical knowledge of law, but still lacks the kind of knowledge and skills that characterize elite attorneys. To this is added today the need to practice the profession in the context of globalization, a phenomenon that affects all kinds of relationships between natural and legal persons. Even family businesses must now face complex legal issues, involving immigration law, international labor law, international trade, or complex regulations on tax law.

This program is a unique possibility to cover both deficiencies and, with the help of renowned specialists, to become the kind of professional that clients want to have on their side. Therefore, it is a privileged way to enter the best firms, for which ISDE has become a true Head Hunter.

There are numerous national and international firms that participate in the development of the program, which has an eminently practical training methodology. After a first phase in which the students acquire solid theoretical foundations, put to the test in situations that faithfully reproduce the cases and the environment in which these firms work, in the second part of the program the students are integrated into said firms, in a period of compulsory practices.

For these reasons and the job placement rate of its students, this Master is the undisputed leader in the main specialized rankings in our country.

Two phases:

First phase: Classroom instruction:

• An academic semester
• Classes from Monday to Thursday in the afternoon. Some mornings a week, students will attend lectures and practical sessions at ISDE's partner offices and institutions, with offices in the city of Madrid and Barcelona.
• Depending on the venue, students will carry out academic stays at Georgetown University, in Washington DC or at NYU in New York, within the Master's in International Law program.

Second phase: Integration in practices:

• Mandatory phase. An academic semester in law firms or legal departments of large ISDE collaborating companies (more than 250) nationally and internationally.

The Master in International Law opens a wide range of professional opportunities. On the one hand, because its study plan is not limited to a specific area of law, but deals with all those legal specialties that may have an international component. On the other hand, because both commercial activity and public and private relations no longer understand borders.

In short, this is one of our most recognized master's degrees worldwide and it is also one of the ones that offers the most professional opportunities.

After obtaining your degree, you will be able to practice as a lawyer in multiple areas:

• Law firms and consultancies in all areas of law (commercial, civil, tax, labor, administrative, industrial and intellectual property, European, public international, real estate, corporate, procedural, criminal or international commercial law, among others).
• Legal departments of national and international companies.
• Officials of international organizations such as the European Union, the UN or the European Free Trade Association.
• Other types of entities, such as foundations or NGOs, that carry out their activity in an international environment.
• Scope of teaching and research.
