EY’s main office in Barcelona, located inside the Sarrià Forum Building, does not just provide auditing, consultancy, legal, tax and transaction services. As of this past November, it has also become a classroom for the ten students enrolled in the University Master’s Degree in the Legal Profession (MUA) and the Postgraduate Degree in Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). 

For one year, these students from the Faculty of Law will prepare to practice law in the fields of corporate mergers, acquisitions and similar in the offices of EY; a 13-storey building with views of the Barcelona skyline, where partners from the Big Four offer a 360º perspective on the legal profession. 

The innovative curriculum takes a cross-disciplinary approach to so-called soft skills, which include communication techniques, conflict management, negotiation skills and role playing; areas in which the students will gain hands-on experience. 

Each day at the EY headquarters is different, with distinct practical and theoretical approaches, a new subject every day, and all with a unique professional environment and academic programme.
