Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.)

The Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) prepares graduates for successful careers across different legal systems and in transnational legal settings. With the skills and experience gained in this program, you will have a number of career opportunities open to you.

You may go on to work in a top law firm or corporation, in international organizations or tech companies, or you may even embark on your own entrepreneurial venture. Alternatively, some graduates take on roles in broader business settings—such as financial analysts or consultants—and others pursue careers in international development, advisory work or the public sector.

What’s more, given IE Law School’s close ties to law firms and companies, we are able to provide door-opening Mentorship Programs and internships in top legal institutions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can you practice law with an LL.B.?
The ability to practice law with an LL.B. depends on the legal requirements of each jurisdiction. In most countries, including Spain, the LL.B. is the first academic step, after which graduates must complete additional training, exams or professional qualifications.

IE University's LL.B. is designed to support these pathways toward legal qualification in multiple jurisdictions.
Does an LLB make you a lawyer?
Obtaining an LL.B. does not automatically make you a lawyer. While it provides foundational legal knowledge, it does not grant the professional designation of a lawyer. To become a practicing lawyer, additional steps — such as passing the bar exam, completing a practical legal training program, or obtaining a further professional qualification — are required, depending on the jurisdiction.
What can I do with a Bachelor of Laws if I don't want to be a lawyer?
A law degree offers a wide range of career opportunities beyond legal practice. Graduates can work in business, consulting, compliance, finance, public policy, international relations or technology.

The IE University LL.B. equips students with transferable skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving and communication, which are highly valued across industries.
Can I switch countries after my LL.B.?
Yes — and IE University's LL.B. is designed to support international mobility. Through international pathways and partnerships, students can pursue further legal studies in jurisdictions such as the UK and the USA.

The program’s comparative law methodology also prepares graduates to understand and work across different legal systems.
Can I work in business or finance with an LL.B. degree?
Yes. A law degree provides strong analytical, strategic and problem-solving skills that are highly valued in business and finance.

Graduates can pursue roles in consulting, corporate strategy, compliance, financial analysis or advisory services. The IE University LL.B. prepares students for multidisciplinary career paths beyond traditional legal practice.
