Hear it from them
"I decided to study the double degree in Law and Humanities because I was looking for a multifaceted and comprehensive course that focused on people and global organisation from a legal point of view.
Thanks to UIC Barcelona and my tutor, I was awarded a grant during the summer of 2022 to study certain law subjects at the prestigious University of Berkeley, California. ChatGPT had not yet been released, but I took advantage of the location at a start-up hub to enrol in a class on AI and legal technology.
In the end, thanks to both the exceptional people I have met and the courses offered at Berkeley, I had the opportunity to put together ideas that will help me achieve my goals in life."
Natalia Claveria
Alumni of the double degree in Law and Humanities
“My experience studying the Bachelor’s Degree in Law at UIC Barcelona has been very positive; the quality of the teaching staff is high, many of them with important positions in the professional world, an advantage that provides students with new connections for potential future internships.
Thanks to the method of oral exams, the course helps us to face situations we are not used to, providing new skills that will serve to make us stand out in the future.
One of the best experiences has been the incredible opportunity to study at UC Berkeley for six weeks. Going abroad to study subjects gives you the opportunity to really stand out from the rest, and even more so if it is one of the best universities in the world.”
