    About the Program

    Spanish current law and comparative law is a field that examines the Spanish legal system in depth — its constitutional foundations, private and public law branches, and procedural frameworks — alongside systematic comparison with other national legal orders and international legal norms. Graduates work in law firms, corporate legal departments, public administration, the judiciary, international organisations, and academic research. Comparative expertise is particularly valued in cross-border legal practice and in settings involving EU law or international arbitration. At the master's level, students develop advanced doctrinal and analytical skills, situating Spanish legal rules within comparative and theoretical perspectives. The program equips graduates to navigate complex legal questions that require both deep knowledge of domestic law and the ability to identify relevant parallels or contrasts with other systems. This one-year master's program in Derecho Español Vigente y Comparado at Complutense University of Madrid is taught in Spanish with a yearly tuition of €2,701.20 and is based on the Madrid campus.
