The internships in the Bachelor’s Degree in Law aim to provide students with a first real immersion in the professional legal environment. This training period allows students to gain first-hand insight into how law-related workplaces operate, put academic knowledge into practice and understand how it is applied in real situations and cases.

The External Internships course, with a workload of 9 credits, facilitates students’ integration into law firms, public administrations, companies or institutions within the legal sector. During the placement, students become familiar with the internal structure of the organisation, participate in professional processes and carry out tasks specific to the legal field, gaining direct experience and essential competences for their future careers.

UManresa offers all students of this degree the opportunity to participate in a variety of mobility programmes that allow you, on the one hand, to enjoy an enriching experience both academically and personally, and, on the other hand, to integrate an international, intercultural and global dimension into the final outcomes of your learning.

For this reason, at UManresa we work to offer you a wide range of agreements with universities and institutions in European countries and in non-EU countries from other geographical regions around the world.

To explore all the possibilities available to you, through the International Relations Office (ORI) you can discover all the mobility options. This same office will provide you with personalised support and expertise to help you choose the mobility programme that best fits your interests and goals. Once selected, throughout the entire process you will also receive support and guidance from the Academic Mobility Coordination (CAM) of your degree.

The types of mobility you can apply for are:

• STUDY MOBILITY: Possibility of studying a semester or a full academic year at another higher education institution with which your faculty has an agreement. You can also participate in short-term Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP). Within this modality, you have three options:
  • Erasmus+ Study (long-term): within the framework of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme
  • Own Programme (International Exchange Programme): international geographical areas not covered by Erasmus+
  • SICUE Programme: mobility between universities within Spain
• INTERNSHIP MOBILITY: You can carry out internship stays in other countries through two options:

If you are considering undertaking a mobility stay within the framework of any of these programmes, or if you would like to learn about other options to gain international experience during your studies, contact us at ori@umanresa.cat

Graduate profile of the Bachelor’s Degree in Law

The Bachelor’s Degree in Law trains professionals with a solid legal foundation and a global vision of the legal system, prepared to interpret, apply and defend the rights and obligations that regulate social coexistence. Graduates stand out for their capacity for critical analysis, argumentative rigour and their ability to resolve conflicts from an ethical and legal perspective. The professional profile resulting from this programme combines technical knowledge, communication skills and a deep understanding of how public and private institutions operate, enabling graduates to perform effectively in changing and highly regulated environments.

Objectives of the Bachelor’s Degree in Law

The main objectives of the Bachelor’s Degree in Law focus on providing students with comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental branches of law — public, private, procedural and international — and on developing competences that facilitate professional practice in any legal field. The programme aims to train individuals capable of analysing complex legal problems, developing legal strategies and applying regulations with sound judgement and responsibility. It also promotes the development of transversal skills such as legal research, interpretation of regulatory texts, negotiation and informed decision-making. Furthermore, it fosters a critical and up-to-date perspective on social, political and economic realities, and encourages adaptability to new legal challenges such as digitalisation, globalisation and ongoing legislative change.

Career opportunities for graduates of the Bachelor’s Degree in Law

Graduates of the Bachelor’s Degree in Law gain access to a wide range of career opportunities in legal, institutional and business environments. One prominent pathway is access to the legal profession and independent legal practice, by continuing training through the Master’s Degree in Access to the Legal Profession and Legal Practice. This pathway enables specialisation in areas such as criminal, civil, labour, commercial or administrative law, as well as in emerging fields related to technology and data protection.

Another significant career option is joining legal advisory departments of companies and institutions, where graduates become key contributors in areas such as contracting, regulatory compliance, taxation, civil liability and conflict resolution. The degree also provides the necessary foundation to access judicial and prosecutorial careers through specific competitive examinations, as well as numerous selection processes within the public sector at local, regional and national levels.

Finally, knowledge of the European and international legal order opens up opportunities in transnational legal consultancy, international organisations, NGOs, institutions of the European Union or law firms specialising in global litigation and operations. This range of opportunities makes the Bachelor’s Degree in Law a versatile programme with strong professional prospects, adapted to the needs of a constantly evolving labour market.

Document approved by the Governing Council of UVic-UCC on 1 December 2015.

The Guidance and Tutorial Action Plan (POAT) was approved by the Governing Council of UVic-UCC on 1 December 2015. In defining this plan, the University has established its understanding of guidance and tutorial action and has determined the fundamental principles and specific objectives to be achieved by students, teaching staff and the educational community.

The POAT applies to all UVic-UCC centres, whether own, federated, affiliated or attached centres, and is implemented annually in accordance with the Centre Operational Plan approved by the respective centre governing councils. This operational plan makes it possible to identify the measures to be applied in each degree programme and also enables their monitoring and appropriate evaluation.

Priorities and objectives of the action

At the Manresa Campus of UVic-UCC, we work to ensure that the tutorial process is present at all stages of the educational pathway: pre-university, university and post-university stages. We believe that pre-university actions aimed at raising awareness of the different professional roles in the current context are essential. During the university stage, particular importance is placed on welcoming first-year students and on the follow-up carried out through the Tutorial Action Plan. Finally, career guidance aimed at the post-university stage is essential to help students make the transition from the academic world to the labour market.

1. Introduction

The Final Degree Project is a fourth-year course whose objective is to integrate the learning outcomes achieved throughout the bachelor’s degree programme. It consists of the preparation and public defence before an assessment panel of a project related to one of the areas of interest of each degree programme taught at the Manresa Campus of UVic-UCC. Throughout the process, students are guided by a tutor who advises them in achieving the objectives established in each case.

2. Enrolment requirements

According to the Academic Regulations for undergraduate studies at UVic-UCC, “in order to formalise enrolment in the Final Degree Project, students must have enrolled in all the courses required to obtain the degree or have passed 210 ECTS credits, including those from first- and second-year courses.” The Final Degree Project has a single assessment session per enrolment, as is the case for the rest of the courses in the degree programme.

3. Determination of the topic

Each degree programme selects the thematic areas it considers of interest. Students then propose projects that fall within these areas. Additionally, and on an exceptional basis, students may propose projects on other topics, subject to prior review and approval.

4. Coordinators and tutor assignment

To monitor and ensure the quality of the Final Degree Project process, there are three key roles. On the one hand, the coordinator is responsible for overseeing the assignment and validation of the selected topic, coordinating tutors and assessment panels, supervising evaluations and, where appropriate, managing agreements with external centres or companies.
The coordinator may also deliver group sessions of a methodological nature.

On the other hand, the tutor is responsible for guiding the assigned students throughout the entire process of preparing the Final Degree Project and for assessing it, according to the percentage defined in each study plan. During the process, the tutor is also responsible for drafting progress reports on the development status of the Final Degree Project. Finally, the tutor forms part of the assessment panel that evaluates the Final Degree Project and is responsible for preparing the final report.

Lastly, there is the role of the reviewer, who supports the tutor during specific stages of the evaluation and monitoring of the Final Degree Project, as determined by each type of degree programme, and who forms part of the assessment panel together with the tutor. The reviewer’s objective is to advise and support the tutor during critical moments of the evaluation process, providing assistance in monitoring the Final Degree Project.

5. Tutoring and assessment process

The Final Degree Project is a supervised project that includes both work guided and monitored by the tutor and, above all, the student’s autonomous work. Throughout its development, there are different moments of interaction between the tutor, reviewer, coordinator and student. A set number of compulsory face-to-face tutoring sessions are established, during which the tutor provides feedback on the student’s work with relevant comments to ensure proper progress, and records this through the completion of monitoring forms.

At the same time, the tutor assesses the work at the different established stages, with occasional support from the reviewer. At the end of the entire process, the tutor completes an authorisation form either approving or denying the student permission to present the Final Degree Project. This authorisation must also be endorsed by the reviewer who has accompanied the monitoring and assessment process of the Final Degree Project.

The assessment criteria and the weighting assigned to each stage of the Final Degree Project are specified in the course guide of each degree programme.

The final version of the Final Degree Project must be submitted in digital format.

6. Composition and operation of the assessment panel

The student must present and publicly defend the Final Degree Project orally before an assessment panel composed of three members: a chair, a secretary and a panel member. One of them will be the project tutor, and the other two will be experts in the subject matter and/or methodology, who will have acted as reviewers of the project.

Before the date of the Final Degree Project defence, each member of the panel must submit a brief report to the Final Degree Project coordinator on the projects they have evaluated.

The panel will reach the final grade by consensus. If consensus is not reached, the final grade will be calculated as the average of the individual grades awarded by each panel member.

Each student has a maximum of 15 minutes to present their project, plus an additional 10 minutes for questions, if applicable. Once the student has completed the presentation, panel members may ask questions, make suggestions or request clarifications as they deem appropriate. Subsequently, the student must leave the room so that the panel can deliberate and grade the presentation according to the established criteria and then complete the corresponding official record.
The presentation may be delivered in Catalan, Spanish or English and may be accompanied by audiovisual support materials, if considered appropriate.

7. Supporting documents

Each degree programme has a specific document for the Final Degree Project (Final Degree Project Course Guide), which details the specific requirements and timetable for each case.

The Regulations on the submission of academic work of the Fundació Universitària del Bages constitute a general document that specifies the formal characteristics that the written document must meet.

8. IT applications

The monitoring and assessment of the Final Degree Project are carried out through the Final Degree Project Virtual Classroom (specific to each degree programme). This space contains the general documentation required to develop the Final Degree Project and is the platform where the various scheduled submissions and the final submission of the document take place.
The different tutors, reviewers and the Final Degree Project coordinator have access to this virtual classroom.

In the grading management system, the coordinator configures the weighting of the Final Degree Project assessment. The tutors communicate the grades of their supervised students, and the coordinator is responsible for publishing them at the agreed time.
