European Law and Anglo-American Law together in the same Degree

Especialización dentro del grado

A global society demands a global legal education. AngloAmerican Law plays a vital role not only in the United States, but also in many other countries. International legal institutions and Law firms need lawyers who have working knowledge of both the Civil and Common Law systems. Therefore, it is essential for European Law students to be familiar with the Common Law.

El plan de estudios del Grado en Derecho consta de 240 ECTS divididos en: asignaturas básicas y obligatorias [201 ECTS], asignaturas optativas [30 ECTS] y Trabajo fin de Grado [9 ECTS].

The University of Navarra School of Law offers the Anglo-American Law Program (AALP) as a necessary complement to the traditional Law Degree. This is a new way to study Law in Spain: European Law and AngloAmerican Law together in the same Degree. The Anglo American Law Program (AALP) follows the regular academic year of the University of Navarra School of Law (September–May). The AALP is compatible with the International Business Law Program (IBLP) and the Global Law Studies. The AALP is taught entirely in English. Students therefore need to demonstrate their language level by passing a personal interview. It is recommended that students interested in this program have an English level equivalent to the Cambridge Advanced test or a score of 92 in the TOEFL exam.

El Plan de Estudios del Grado en Derecho prevé la posibilidad de completar los créditos Optativos mediante Diplomas de Especialización. Estos Diplomas aportan un perfil profesional propio al plan de estudios de cada estudiante y permiten la obtención de títulos propios de la Universidad. Los diplomas que ofrece la Facultad son: Derecho Económico (DECO), The Anglo-American Law Program (AALP), The International Business Law Program (IBLP) y The Global Law Program (GLP). Cursar el AALP ofrece la oportunidad de obtener 24 de los 30 ECTS de carácter optativo de la carrera. El resto de créditos se pueden cursar a través de otras asignaturas. También tienen reconocimiento académico la participación en actividades culturales, solidarias, deportivas... Hasta un máximo de 6 ECTS optativos.
