Master in International Sports Law
If Law deals with all the ways we interact, few things connect us in the way that Sport does. In a way, it has become a global language. Such is the power of the Law that regulates it and the professionals who work in it.
After many successful editions, ISDE’s Master in International Sports Law is considered the reference in the sector. It is a full-time Master, which combines lectures sessions on site, where you receive training from the most qualified professionals of the sector, with a second period of internships, in one of the collaborating firms, organizations or clubs.
The excellence of its training speaks volumes about the positions its former students hold today. For this reason, it is not only a training opportunity, it is a gateway into the business and the best opportunity to achieve the Networking and Business Synergies that are essential in this Industry.
