Double Degree in Law and Business Administration and Management

Objectives

The main objective of the Degree in Law is to train professionals with a high level of ability to understand legal institutions and the regulations and the proceedings of our domestic legal system; to use constitutional principles and values as a tool for legal order, as well as a capacity for creating and structuring regulations.

Future graduates should understand the main problems of the modern global world, and participate in solving them, according to legal and ethical principles. They should be able to analyse and reflect on issues related to international terrorism, the Spanish territorial model, the protection of human rights and sustainable development, using an interdisciplinary approach based on democratic values and a plural and respectful perspective, which are the foundations for the development of specific competences.

The main aim of this course is to train professionals to engage in management, advisory and organisational roles in production or service companies. Their training will enable them to manage and interpret market opportunities, assign resources, manage information, recruit and develop personnel and make decisions to achieve objectives in the institution in which they work.

Competences

They should be able to understand the main public and private institutions and how they were established; use advanced sources of knowledge, interpreting legal texts; describe basic aspects of the various branches of law, identifying the various sources of law and the means of its creation throughout history, including new perspectives; and analyse and summarise issues with a view to improving and enhancing their knowledge and cultural baggage.

During the practicum, students should be creative in order to integrate and apply all their acquired knowledge and abilities to professional contexts, going beyond the training they have received. They should become familiar with specific tasks in legal firms and offices and institutions in the field of law. They should be capable of reasoning, discussing, defending their arguments and fluently conveying their critical reasons with fluency, both orally and in writing.

They are thereby equipped to enhance their knowledge and skills and to continue their training autonomously.

Students should acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical abilities, as well as the tools and ability to manage resources, needed to work professionally in their specialist field. They should be capable of analysing and synthesising information; solving problems; organising and planning; making decisions; working as part of a team and adapting to changing contexts, based on an ethical and social commitment.

They should understand the workings, management and supervision of the different areas of the company, and in particular: organisation, marketing, financial analysis, accounting and human resources, as well as the social and economic aspects of the company's situation. Graduates in this discipline must use logical thought, and be creative and intuitive in their professional practice.
