Dual Degree in Business Administration & Laws

Building upon the foundational training in comparative law during the first years of the program, the Spanish Law Track offers students a deeper understanding of the Spanish legal system and its application in a business context. Designed specifically for Dual Degree students (BBALLB, LLBBIR, and PPLELLB) interested in practicing law in Spain or pursuing the Máster de Acceso a la Abogacía, this track provides a comprehensive and practical education in Spanish Business Law. 

Taught entirely in Spanish by renowned professors and legal practitioners, this track covers essential areas including Spanish public law, constitutional and administrative law, private law, property law, commercial law, and procedural law. A minimum B2 level of Spanish is required to enroll. 

Chosen in the fourth year this track is designed for students who wish to focus on the ethical and legal dimensions of justice, equity, and human dignity. By specializing in Human Rights & Social Justice, students will develop the critical and analytical tools needed to navigate areas such as minority rights, refugee law, gender and child protection, and international criminal justice. 

Courses within this track foster leadership, empathy, and advocacy — essential skills for careers in international organizations, courts, NGOs, public institutions, and advocacy groups. Students will learn to analyze systemic issues, propose legal reforms, and become effective human rights advocates in both local and global contexts. 

Also selected in the fourth year the International Business Law Track allows students to deepen their expertise at the intersection of law and global commerce. Through a selection of practical and advanced electives, students explore topics such as cross-border mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiation and drafting, international arbitration, and global tax planning. 

This track is ideal for those aspiring to work as transactional lawyers, in-house counsel, or international legal consultants. Students gain exposure to the real-world legal dynamics of global business, preparing them to act as strategic advisors in multinational environments. 

As digital innovation continues to disrupt every sector, legal professionals must understand the technologies shaping our world. This fourth-year track focuses on the evolving legal landscape surrounding data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and tech policy. 

Students will explore the ethical, legal, and business implications of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data. By developing both legal expertise and digital literacy, students are equipped to navigate one of the most dynamic areas of legal practice — whether as tech-savvy lawyers, compliance officers, or policy advisors.
