Access + Master in International Sports Law
With the aim of training the best prepared lawyers, ISDE, Carlos III University and the Il-lustre Col-legi d’Advocats de Terrassa have been inspired by Law 34/2006 when designing a programme designed for students to acquire the necessary skills and competences to practice in a globalised context.
This change of model has sought to harmonise the Spanish system of access to the legal profession with that of the rest of Europe, so that law graduates must now complete their training with specific studies in law and accredit their knowledge in a state test. This new system responds to an old aspiration of the profession: that those who enter it have sufficient preparation to practice with all the guarantees.
Apart from following the spirit of the Access Law, the joint course organized by ISDE, UC3M and ICATER takes into account the requirements marked by the phenomenon of globalization, a framework in which new lawyers will practice their profession, which tends to bring together the different known legal systems by bringing their institutions closer together.
Two phases:
Phase One: Classroom Instruction:
- One academic year for access studies and one academic semester for the Master in International Sports Law.
- Classes from Monday to Thursday. Schedule, according to the chosen access modality.
- A few mornings a week, students will attend conferences and practical sessions at the ISDE office and collaborating institutions, with offices in the city of Madrid.
- Fridays dedicated to personal study, group work and workshops.
- The Master in International Sports Law includes two training stays abroad. The first at the University of Cambridge. The second in Switzerland, visiting the most important international sports institutions and some of the specialized firms based in that country.
Second phase: Integration in practices:
- Mandatory phase. An academic semester in law firms or legal departments of large companies, sports clubs or institutions.
