        Training lawyers since 1973

        We are the most experienced private university for teaching law in Catalonia

        Why UAO CEU?

        1. Course satisfaction

        86% of our students are satisfied with their law studies, the second-highest level out of all Catalan universities (AQU 2017).

        2. Employment quality

        82.3% of our students are satisfied with the employment quality associated with their degree, 15 points above average (AQU 2017).

        3. Double qualification

        Abat Oliba CEU University is a pioneer in the methodology that allows students to combine two qualifications and gain two degrees in five years. The Degree in Political Science is taught in a blended learning format, allowing students to combine it with their Law studies.

        This double qualification aims to train future law professionals who also have a solid knowledge of political science. With a theoretical and practical understanding of the subjects, they will be fully competent in both.

        This degree gives UAO CEU Law students extra-curricular education that contributes to their unique profile, improving their expertise and by extension, broadening their range of job opportunities. With this training, they will become experts in political movements, figureheads and activity, as well as current organisations and their policies.

        4. Methodology

        A practical, personalised educational model that sees students study cases, resolve cases with law firms and attend real trials at the Provincial Court. As well as other activities such as:

        • Practical seminars on maritime law
        • Workshops on rhetoric and legal debates
        • Legal behaviour and negotiation role plays
        • Debating society
        • The Jurist's Club
        5. International programmes

        We offer all law students the chance to study the Master's in US Law at the University of Saint Thomas in Minnesota.

        6. Legal Tech

        Students in their fourth year of Law are trained in the application of new technologies to law through the Wolters Kluwer Certifica programme. Students enrich their education by building their legal and technological capabilities regarding management, public speaking and networking.

        7. CEU ePlus skills programme

        A teaching model based on practical, personalised education that links theory to professional practice through case studies and real experiences, workshops and practical seminars.

        It includes visits to national and international companies and production centres through internships.

        8. Progressive International Development

        A new plan that encourages students to think internationally from their first year to their fourth.

        1: Students will get experience interacting and researching online with other European universities.
        2: We explore the meaning and the effects of international politics and law through short trips to Brussels (EU) and Geneva (UNESCO).
        3: We prepare students for the international law environment through conferences with MEPs and international experts.
        4: We widen students' horizons through the Erasmus programme or through semester-long stays in our partner universities in the United States, Mexico and the Netherlands.

        Students also have the advantage of being able to study the Master of Laws LL.M. in US Law at the University of Saint Thomas, Minnesota.

        9. Complete programme

        With the career-focused Official Master's Degree in Legal Profession, students get additional skills that are required by law.

        ADMISSION PROFILE

        Students must be interested in organisational systems within society, the inner workings and planning within political communities and the principles and norms that underpin personal and social relationships.

        They should demonstrate an interest in learning about the historical, philosophical and dogmatic essentials of legal systems and a desire to implement legal ideals in their purest form.

        They should also be able to analyse and understand social phenomena, identify them and put forward solutions. Furthermore, they must be able to analyse, synthesise and work in a team, understand and abstract ideas, express ideas clearly, be amicable, broaden their world view and have a perspective on their own possible evolution.

        Knowledge of another language (preferably English) is desired and required, as is a flair for communication.

        OBJECTIVES

        • To be equipped with refined legal language - a solid understanding of legal dogma and interpretation.
        • To be equipped with a full understanding of the Spanish legal code and the origins of the environment it applies to and where it was established.
        • To develop the abilities and skills needed to apply the Spanish legal system and be prepared to carry out public and private roles – trials, consulting, defence, prosecution, mediation or equivalent – of a law graduate.
        • To be able to evaluate, criticise, discuss, build on and present legal ideas based on an understanding of social, economic, international and other contexts.
        • To become an impartial, responsible and diligent jurist who understands the commitment involved in performing tasks that are so crucial for the common and individual good.
        • To have a solid understanding of the field of political science, both in theory and in practice, and to maximise competency in both areas.
