Do you want to get to know the Law School? What degrees do we offer?
The Universitat de València organises the “Conèixer la Universitat” programme with the aim of bringing the Universitat closer to high schools and showing future students its educational offer and services.
“Conèixer la Universitat” is an initiative of the Office of the Vice-Principal for Studies that is coordinated by the Information and Promotion Service (Sedi) and has the participation of the centres and services of the Universitat de València.
The Degree in Law provides a basic legal training that includes both theoretical knowledge of the law and the methodological tools necessary to be able to interpret and apply it. Thus, the ultimate aim of the degree is to train professionals capable of defending the rights of citizens within the society to which they belong, in accordance with the established legal system.
Law graduates can practise professions that can only be accessed through the possession of a law degree and the corresponding competitive examination. Therefore, this degree is required for access to the judicial career, to the corps of court clerks, to the public prosecutor's office and to the corps of state lawyers. It is also a prerequisite for entry to the official professions of notary and registrar and for access to the training and subsequent examination for the professional titles of solicitor and barrister.
The general aim of the degree in Criminology is to train professionals to respond to the social needs of security and crime prevention and control. Thus, the degree provides the theoretical and practical tools necessary to analyse the criminal reality from an interdisciplinary and integrating perspective (law, sociology, psychology, etc.). This provides the instruments to contribute to the fight against crime within the established legal framework and confidence in social policies aimed at preventing crime and minimising its effects.
Graduates in Criminology work in both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, they can work in the administration of justice, law enforcement agencies, victim assistance offices, prisons, juvenile detention centres, town halls, etc. In the private sector, in addition to offering advice to different companies, they can work as detectives if they take the corresponding itinerary (approved by resolution of the Ministry of the Interior of 13 July 2010).
The degree in Political Sciences and Public Administration provides multidisciplinary training that combines theoretical knowledge and practical tools from different fields of study, such as political science, law, history, economics, sociology, etc. On this basis, the degree offers resources for analysing political phenomena and the organisation of public administrations. At the same time, this capacity for analysis must favour the development of strategies for action in this field, always from a solid professional and ethical position.
Graduates in Political Science and Public Administration can work in both the public and private sectors. In the first one, after passing a competitive examination, a variety of functions at medium-high level in different public administrations (international, European, state, regional and local) can be accessed. In the private sector, they can work as internal and external advisors for companies, political parties, trade unions, NGOs, etc.
The double degree in Law and Criminology provides the necessary information, knowledge and methodology in both fields. It provides a basic legal training to prepare professionals to be able to defend the rights of citizens within society. It also trains professionals who give answers to social needs regarding safety and crime prevention and control from the established legal framework and the trust in social policies aimed to prevent crime and minimise its effects.
Graduates in Law and Criminology can exercise professions that are accessible via both degrees. Thus, as Law degree holders, they have access to the judicial career, the body of judicial secretaries, the prosecution service and the body of state lawyers, official professions such as notary and registrar, as well as to training and a posterior exam for the professional title of lawyer and solicitor. From the Criminology side, they carry out their professional tasks in both the public and private sector. Within the former, they can work in justice administration, law enforcement agencies, victim care offices, prisons, juvenile facilities, city councils, etc. Within the latter, they can be advisors for different companies and detectives.
The Double Degree in Business Management and Administration + Law answers the demand of public and private companies and organisations for professionals with a profile which combines Business Management and Administration skills with a command of legal matters. In addition, graduates in the double degree can take several specialisation masters in the legal-business field, such as the Master in Law, which allows for the professional practice as a lawyer or attorney.
This double degree programme aims to train professionals with the necessary skills to fill positions of responsibility in the global sphere of organisation and in the functional areas of companies: taxation, human resources, labour law, production, finance, marketing, investment, administration and accounting. It also prepares students for law and consultancy jobs, encouraging an entrepreneurial attitude in these fields.
The Double degree in Law and Political Sciences and Administration provides the necessary information, knowledge and methodology in both fields. On the one hand, it offers basic legal information and trains professionals capable of defending the rights of citizens within society. On the other, Political Sciences provide multidisciplinary information combining theoretical knowledge and practical tools from different fields of study such as, for example, political science, law, history, economics, sociology, etc.
Graduates in Law and Political Sciences and Administration can exercise their profession in both fields. As Law degree holders, they have access to the judicial career, the body of judicial secretaries, the prosecution service and the body of state lawyers; official professions such as notary and registrar, as well as to training and a posterior exam for the professional title of lawyer and solicitor. As graduates in Political Sciences, they can work in both the public and private sector. The former allows access to various functions at medium-high level of different public (international, state, autonomous, local and European) administrations. The latter enables work as internal and external advisor for companies, political parties, unions, NGOs, etc.
The double degree in Political Sciences and Public Administration + Sociology (current programme / in the process of extinction) provides the necessary information, knowledge and methodology in both fields. On the one hand, the degree in Sociology trains students to develop social action strategies enabling the improvement of conditions and quality of life within societies, and offers the necessary training to analyse social phenomena of contemporary societies, their institutions...
Graduates in Sociology can work in very different fields, such as social intervention, public policies, research, work organisation or education. These tasks can be carried out in both public and private institutions. As Political Sciences and Public Administration degree holders, students can access various functions at medium and high level of different public (international, state, autonomous, local and European) administrations. The private sector enables students to work as internal and external advisors for companies, political parties, unions, NGOs, etc.
The double degree offers a broad and competitive training in the legal-economic field. It responds to the vocations and needs of the labour market which demand legal-economic training for graduates to work not only in traditional professions, but also in professional sectors of the economy and law different from the business environment.
The Double Degree in Law + Economics enables you to work in both the public (as a manager, policy-maker or civil servant) and the private sector, where interrelation between economic and legal decisions is essential.
The degree is designed to take 373.5 credits within five academic years and in three languages of teaching. Training includes 12 credits of Final Degree Project and 12 credits of internships. Upon completion of the degree programme, graduates obtain both degrees: Bachelor's Degree in Law and Bachelor's Degree in Economics.
Students can abandon the double programme and continue with only one of the two degrees. In this case, always taking into account the minimum number of passed credits required, they may choose which one to continue.
Students will be able to participate in international and national mobility programmes: Erasmus+ Programme, Erasmus Internship Programme, International Programme and SICUE Programme.
Students of certain UV degrees have the possibility of taking two academic years at one of the foreign partner universities and obtain degrees from both institutions upon completion. These double degrees allow for more mobility and a more competitive training.
Whoever wants to apply for the French double degree in Law must submit the request in the first course; the academic record and the accredited language level required by the destination university (French level B2) will be taken into account. However, the original degree’s first and second course must be passed with a minimum of 120 ECTS in order to start the stay abroad, which covers the third and fourth course.
