Course structure

The total duration of the programme exceeds 1500 hours. The programme is divided in two phases:

The first phase begins at the end of September and ends in March. It takes place at our academic headquarters. The method is based on a combination of study of cases and case study.

The study of cases gives students a general approach to the different subjects of the program. At the same time this particular method develops students’ agility for legal reasoning.

On the other hand, the case study consists in analyzing, deeply and precisely, those particular aspects which are especially relevant in international legal practice.

This combined method aims at providing students with a work method which will allow them to face any kind of legal problem in future.

This specific programme in International Law LLM is completed by different common subjects that are essential for a lawyer and paying special attention to the International relations and Foreign Trade.

The second phase begins in April and ends in July. Each student completes this phase at the premises of one of the collaborating entities of the Master, under the conditions and rules set by those entities. For this reason, the schedule for the Second Phase is subject to further modifications.
