Elevate your future, lead our world

The world is being reshaped by constant change, increasing complexity and global interconnection. For students who aspire to understand that reality with greater depth and act on it with purpose, these international double degrees offer a distinctive academic pathway. Delivered in Madrid, with a summer academic experience in London, they combine the academic strength of CUNEF Universidad with the international recognition of the University of London, under the academic direction of LSE.

You will graduate with two degrees in five years, complete your studies in Madrid and enrich your academic journey with an international experience in London.

International Double Degrees

The Double Bachelor in Law and International Relations at CUNEF Universidad, in partnership with the University of London and under the academic direction of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), is designed for students who want to understand how legal systems, institutions and global affairs interact in an increasingly complex world.

By combining CUNEF Universidad’s strong legal education with LSE’s international and analytical perspective on politics, governance and global challenges, the programme prepares students to move confidently across both legal and cross-border environments. Over five academic years, students build a solid grounding in the main branches of law while developing a deeper understanding of international relations, foreign policy, international organisations and the political and economic forces that shape today’s global order. This combination enables them not only to interpret legal frameworks, but also to understand the wider international context in which regulation, negotiation and decision-making take place.


The programme leads to two official and complementary degrees -LLB from CUNEF Universidad and BIR from the University of London under the academic direction of LSE-, includes an academic experience at the LSE Summer School in London as part of the curriculum, together with curricular internships that strengthen students’ professional readiness. The result is a distinctive academic pathway for those aiming to build a career in law firms, international organisations, public institutions, consultancies or multinational companies, with the potential to work in international legal and institutional centres such as New York, Strasbourg or The Hague.

The Double Bachelor in Philosophy, Politics & Economics and International Relations at CUNEF Universidad, in partnership with the University of London and under the academic direction of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), offers an interdisciplinary education for students who want to understand the world from multiple but connected perspectives. It brings together schools of thought, political analysis, ethical reasoning, economic trends and international affairs to help students interpret the forces shaping contemporary societies and the global order with rigour, perspective and intellectual independence.

 

Throughout the programme, students develop the ability to analyse public issues from different angles: Philosophy sharpens critical thinking and argumentation; Politics helps explain institutions, power and public decision-making; Economics provides essential tools for understanding markets, incentives and structural change; and International Relations adds a deeper understanding of foreign policy, international organisations, security, governance and geopolitical dynamics. Rather than training students to think within a single discipline, the degree prepares them to connect ideas, actors and systems in complex and multicultural settings.

 

Taught entirely in English, this programme leads to two official and complementary degrees -PPE from CUNEF Universidad and BIR from the University of London under the academic direction of LSE- and includes both an international mobility period and an academic experience at the LSE Summer School in London as part of the curriculum. The result is a demanding and distinctive pathway for students who aspire to careers in international institutions, public policy, strategic consulting, geopolitical analysis, research centres, NGOs or multinational organisations, with opportunities that may lead them to international hubs such as London, Geneva or Brussels.
