Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.)

For students who want to deepen their understanding of the Spanish legal system, the Concentration in Spanish Business Law is the ideal complement to the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) program. With all modules fully taught in in Spanish, the Concentration presents a rigorous curriculum that covers the main areas of Spanish law, including Constitutional and Administrative Law, Commercial Law, Tax Law, Procedural Law and Property Law. The academics of the program are enriched with a series of extracurricular activities that bring students closer to the Spanish legal system, with opportunities ranging from visits to public institutions to networking opportunities with leading law firms and many more.

The Concentration is designed to build seamlessly on top of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) program, leveraging students’ solid analytical skills and global legal knowledge. Upon completing both the LL.B and Concentration in Spanish Business law, students are well prepared to pursue the Máster de Acceso a la Abogacía y Procura and later qualify as practicing lawyers in Spain. Students graduate with a strong understanding of Spanish Law, an international perspective of the legal systems of the world and how they interact with one another.

If you want to practice law in Spain and kick off a successful career, you must prepare to pass the legal profession’s entrance exams required by the Spanish Ministry of Justice. To do this, you must obtain an official master's degree (60 ECTS credits) and carry out an internship or external training period (30 ECTS credits).​

​At IE Law School we offer the Dobles Masters de Acceso a la Abogacía y Procura + LL.M. de Especialización, with which, in 15 months, you’ll successfully pass the Spanish legal profession’s entrance tests, as well as acquire the required internship period, while specializing in one of your areas of interest: corporate tax advice, corporate legal advice or digital and technology law advice. Continuing your academic experience in a master’s at IE University will position you as a differential lawyer in the labor market. You will also obtain exclusive benefits in the admission process for already being a graduate of IE University.
