What is the best country to study international law? While there are plenty of great institutions in the United States, a special case must be made for Spain. And to make that case, we’ve put together a complete guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering a master’s in international law in Spain? Here’s why you’re making the right decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Spain a good place for international students studying law?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spain is now a top destination for international students pursuing law. This is thanks in large part to its globally recognized education system, rich legal heritage and multicultural academic environment. Spanish universities like IE Law School<\/a> have accreditations like EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB, ensuring degrees are valid across Europe and beyond. And you can study in both Spanish and English\u2014with IE Law School offering its flagship programs<\/a> in English. There is also a relatively low cost of living compared to other Western European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission requirements typically include a recognized secondary education certificat and language proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS or CAE for English). Sometimes, you’ll need to take entrance exams like LNAT or the IE Admissions Test. International students also need a Schengen visa along with proof of finances. It’s all worth it though, since studying law in Spain offers students a solid academic foundation while immersing them in the Civil Law system, one of the world\u2019s most influential legal traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a dynamic blend of tradition and internationalism, Spain is a top location for future success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I study international law in English in Spain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can study international law in English in Spain\u2014particularly through specialized LL.M. programs like the LL.M. in International Legal Studies<\/a> at IE Law School. This program, like the Master of Laws (LL.M.)<\/a>, is entirely taught in English. It offers a great springboard for internationally minded legal professionals who want to engage with areas like international economic law, human rights, environmental law and technology-driven legal challenges. The LL.M. in International Legal Studies<\/a> also combines a comparative and multidisciplinary approach, guided by renowned faculty including Joseph Weiler from NYU School of Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students also benefit from a strategic partnership with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). This includes access to exclusive seminars, optional Paris immersion trips<\/a>, mentoring, internships and certifications in digital trade or export\/import strategies. In turn, this international exposure helps students work in top international law firms<\/a>, along with the capability to work across multinationals and NGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
