CIEE Legal Studies Program in Madrid, Spain
Spain
Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring
Dates: Fall 18 or 24 weeks: late August-mid-December; Spring 18 or 24 weeks: late January-late May or early June; Academic Year 36 or 48 weeks: late August-late May or early June
Description:
The Legal Studies program offers highly motivated students with a strong Spanish background from any academic discipline the opportunity to further develop their Spanish language skills, while pursuing a co-curricular program focused on law and public policy in Spain. The program goals are achieved through a specially designed language course, a course on legal issues in Spain, an optional internship, and law and political science elective courses at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Academic Program
The CIEE Legal Studies program is designed for advanced Spanish language students who are highly motivated to improve their Spanish language through coursework focused on law, public policy, and political science, while also participating in a Legal Studies internship in Madrid. Academic Culture
The Law Department at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid offers various degree programs with a total enrollment of nearly 1,200 students. All courses are held in classroom buildings on the Getafe campus, where the Department of Law and the CIEE Study Center office are located. Courses are academically challenging, dynamic, and involve daily reading and homework assignments, as well as required attendance at lectures. The size of regular University courses varies from 25 to 80 students. The Advanced Spanish and Legal Language and Law in Contemporary Spain courses have an average of 15 students per class. University classrooms are modern, comfortable, and equipped with the most up-to-date technology used for instruction. Students undertaking an internship meet regularly with the course coordinator and other CIEE students, but participants spend the majority of their internship for credit with an individual supervisor at the practicum site. Universidad Carlos III is one of the only public universities in Spain with new education guidelines according to European Union regulations set forth in the Bologna Agreement, resulting in an academic schedule that is very similar to U.S. higher education. The CIEE courses offered in the fall semester begin in late August and end just before Christmas. Students enrolled in regular courses in the Law Department during the fall take exams in December. The spring semester program begins in late January and runs through late May or early June. Early departure is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during vacation periods, or upon completion of the program.
Highlights:
- Advanced Spanish language courses with a focus on legal terminology
- CIEE core course focusing on the Spanish legal system; regular University courses in law and political science; law-related internship
- Group housing with other Legal Studies students and a CIEE Resident Fellow affiliated with the Universidad Carlos III
- Educational activities, such as visits to Congress, Parliament, and guided tours of the historical district; excursions to sites of cultural importance
Culture
Cultural Activities and Field Trips
The academic program is supplemented with required field trips and excursions. These may include visits in Madrid (Congress, Parliament, the High Courts, guided tours of the historic district, or a police station) and day excursions to see historic Toledo and its Jewish and legal heritage, the Natural Park of Hoces de Duratón, the Monastary of El Escorial, the Roman architecture of the city of Segovia, the UNESCO world heritage site of Alcalá de Henares, and the Royal Palace and gardens of Aranjuez, among other locations. CIEE offers one weekend trip to one of the following regional destinations: Asturias, Galicia, Extremadura, or Andalusia. Field trips and excursions supplement class work and introduce students to the rich diversity of the geographic, linguistic, and cultural areas of Spain and its major cities.Immersion
Intercambios
The University has a conversation exchange network (intercambios) with Spanish students at the Universidad Carlos III and with English-speaking students from the Cursos Estudios Hispánicos. Intercambios give students the chance to put into action what they are learning in their language course. Community Involvement
Through the Universidad Carlos III community program, CIEE students can participate in volunteer work. Students may assist blind students, coordinate games and other activities with children, or visit with the elderly. Volunteer opportunities also exist with organizations focused on immigration and other
social issues. Personal Skills Development and Culture Workshops
In conjunction with the Universidad Carlos III, CIEE coordinates a series of non-credit workshops each semester dealing with personal development while living abroad. Some workshops are only open to CIEE students, while others allow interaction with Spanish students and invited speakers. Past workshop topics have included culture shock, dating across cultures, race and identity issues, eating well and basic cooking methods, stress management, job interview skills, and re-entry at the end of the semester.
