Hear it from them
“My experience studying the Law Degree at UIC Barcelona has been very positive so far. The teaching staff is of very high quality, occupying important positions in the professional world, which is an advantage for making new connections for possible future work placements.
UIC Barcelona has helped me develop skills: the method of having some oral exams helps students to face new situations, and the practical experience and simulation of trials in the courtroom complements the theoretical knowledge acquired. One of the experiences that I liked the most was the international study programme at UC Berkeley, not only for the knowledge learned in the classes, but also because I met many people from different cultures. Studying subjects abroad gives you the opportunity to stand out from the rest, and even more so if it is one of the best universities in the world.”
