Official Double Master’s Degree in Legal Practice and Legal Profession and Official Master’s Degree in Administrative Manage Abat Oliba - CEU University

Overview

Why study at the UAO CEU?

Law 34/2006, of 30th October, regulating access to the lawyer and solicitor professions, introduced the requirement for additional professional training beyond university level prior to admission to the bar.

This additional training must consist of an entry (bar) exam after earning 60 ECTS credits through courses accredited by the Ministry of Justice and 30 ECTS credits from a tutored internship.

In response to this new regulatory framework for teaching law and preparing to practise as a lawyer, Abat Oliba - CEU University offers this legally required additional training in the form of a master's. It is a professional pathway that offers not only subjects directly related to legal practice, but also important subjects with transferable skills, such as ethics, negotiation and promotion of equality and human rights.

Alongside the Official Double Master’s Degree in Legal Practice and Legal Profession and Official Master’s Degree in Administrative Management, you can begin work as an administrative manager without the need to take the public entry exam for the profession, with content adapted to cover legally established roles. The Council of the Official Administrative Managers Association of Catalonia exempts graduates of this master's from the state professional entry test and provides immediate accreditation upon finishing the course.

Official Double Master’s Degree in Legal Profession and Official Master’s Degree in Administrative Management students can therefore join the two associations and offer the key services to set up their own firm.
