Letter from the Director of ISDEMr. Juan José Sánchez Puig

The ver y etymology of the word Master embodies the philosophy underpinning ISDE’s educational objective,where the student is the focal point and the absolute protagonist. All of our resources and effor ts are focused onachieving this objective, which is to ensure that the student has mastered the subject matter by the end of theprogramme.

Par tnerships with the leading figures in the world of law and business, a proven training method, the personalattention of the teaching and coordination team, and all of our technical and human resources are placed at thedisposal of our students in our quest to ensure that the programmes achieve their utmost educational goals andmake the time and effor t devoted to them wor th the while.

Throughout the years, we have striven and succeeded in ensuring that our students not only acquire the most up-to-date knowledge, but that they also accomplish their personal and professional development goals through theacquisition of skills and competencies that lay the foundation for a new stage in their careers.

The sum of the effor ts of the ISDE and its students –without whose commitment the most qualified staff ortechnical resources would ser ve no purpose- has made us proud to see how those who trusted us with theirtraining needs have gone on to enjoy highly successful careers and to occupy the senior positions they so brilliantlyand so efficiently prepared themselves for.

Loyalty to the spirit and methods that have earned us the trust of thousands of students, and continuous upgradingand improvement of our training methods, have placed us at the forefront of our field, as evidenced by ourperformance in independent rankings.

The accomplishment of these objectives in recent years has driven us to never lose sight of the fact that our goalis the success of our students.

intRoDuCtion

We at ISDE, whose pioneering commitment to the integration of students in law firms inspired the creation of the new Mastersin Admission to the Practice of Law, believe that although the programme provides the practical training essential for the practiceof the profession, there are two aspects that it does not fully cover : specialisation and training for the practice of internationallaw.

Our proven experience in the field prompted us to consider the introduction of a programme that would complete the Mastersin Admission to the Practice of Law, provide with the prestigious Carlos III University of Madrid with the colaboration of ISDE.Theformula for achieving this goal for an institution of the calibre of ISDE is as simple as it is essential: the Masters in Admission tothe Practice of Law is now provided together with the best private Masters degrees, given that the specialist programmes thatISDE has been offering for years have earned it a place in the most important Spanish and international rankings.The result is amasters that is unique in the sector, and which has the added benefit of a second practical training stage during which the studentwill become a real member of the “ecosystem” of a law firm, not a mere observer.

The combination of two highly prestigious Masters programmes, together with the specialisation and international experience thatleading law firms require today will give graduates a competitive advantage when seeking employment in the legal market.

Double masters. Admission to the Practice of Law and Specialisation in International Law, Foreign Trade and International Relations

Page 10: Full - time m aster - isdemasters.com · Bufete Juan Enrique Pérez Jamar ... Domenech,Abogados Ebame Abogados Asociados EDM Holding ... Infiesta,Souto,Lamas ING Lease España

The objective of this double Masters degree is to prepare students to meet the requirements of major law firmstoday. This means providing specialised training geared towards the practice of international law. Globalisation hadhad an undeniable impact on the field of law and also on the practice of law.The training of a top lawyer shouldtake account of the needs under lying this phenomenon, which tends to bring together the different known legalsystems through the approximation of the different legal institutions.

The progressive publification of law is giving rise to increasing legal complexity. This, in turn, creates the need forspecialists capable of meeting the demands of customers in a timely manner. And this specialisation must comeabout through appropriate training in the fundamentals of law and a comprehensive overview thereof.

Accordingly, students choosing to pursue a double Masters degree will obtain a double benefit:

On the one hand, completion of the best Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law, which the prestigious CarlosIII University of Madrid with the colaboration of ISDE.This ensures that students obtain an in-depth understandingof the practical knowledge required by the new admissions system and have a greater likelihood of passing thenational examination for admission to the profession.

On the other hand, our specialised international Masters programmes, where the student will have the oppor tunityto be par t of a small group comprised of national and foreign students and professors, is designed to preparestudents for entr y into their choice of specialisation.

In this sense, the programme was born with a clear objective: to transmit a mechanism of legal reasoning and,consequently, preparation in all areas of legal practice, with the aim of gradually aspiring to specialisation.

Moreover, the student will also receive instruction in international relations and foreign trade, so necessar ynowadays on account of the present-day world economic system.
