Why study Dual Bachelor's in Law and Journalism at CEU San Pablo?

Valores Diferenciales

The training plan of both degrees has a clear practical approach, in which you will be able to apply all the knowledge in real cases. We work in small groups of students, and we carry out a personalized follow-up through tutorials.

We put all the resources at your disposal so that you can obtain an international professional profile: bilingual degrees (we are the only university center in Spain where you can study the Journalism Degree in English), international mobility, master classes by foreign professors, international programs in collaboration with leading American universities, a unique training program with the United Nations -UNITAR, etc. 

Those students with a brilliant record will have access to the Excellence Program, where they will receive additional classes and specific training to succeed in whatever they set their minds to.

The first school of Journalism in Spain ("El Debate") was founded here in 1926, and was the origin of Journalism studies at the University. In addition, we have been training jurists for more than 75 years at the Law School, which is even home to the European Law Moot Court Competition. We are therefore experts in both fields. Numerous professionals from the country's most important media and legal fields are CEU graduates.

Participate in a social project in which you will be able to solve real cases working under the supervision of professors and practicing lawyers with pro bono concerns.

The connection with the professional world is another reason why thousands of students trust us. We have more than 9,000 agreements with companies so you can do internships. Before finishing your dual bachelor’s degree, you will enjoy a 180-hour internship to get to know the world of Journalism in depth.
