Double Bachelor in Law and International Relations
The Double Bachelor in Law and International Relations offers an interdisciplinary education that combines the rigorous study of legal foundations with a deep understanding of international institutions and the economic, political and power dynamics that shape relations between nations.
The programme is distinguished by its critical, applied and international orientation, combining studies in Spanish (Bsc in Law) and in English (BSc in International Relations). Students acquire a solid grounding in the main branches of law while also developing expertise in key areas of international relations, such as foreign policy, international organisations, international security and international political economy.
The double degree is awarded by CUNEF Universidad (BSc in Law) and the University of London (BSc in International Relations, under the academic supervision of the London School of Economics and Political Science – LSE). The curriculum is complemented by academic experience at the LSE Summer School, where students take courses that strengthen their international profile and earn 15 ECTS as part of the programme. In addition, they may broaden their education by taking minors in areas such as Digital and Artificial Intelligence Law, International and European Law, and Business and Finance, which extend their understanding of law in technological, economic and transnational contexts.
