Enrollment and Admission Process

Introduction

This Masters Programme offers students the opportunity to obtain the necessary legal training to face, with maximum guarantees, the different challenges of the current and future legal framework, putting at their disposal the necessary knowledge and training tools to enable them to operate in this market.

Unlike other training offers, the main purpose of this project is to attract human talent in order to improve the legal training of future managers of sport entities and, at the same time, to contribute with the international expansion of our brand and that of our associated Clubs and Public Limited Sports Companies.

In the course of the programme, we will monitor each student personally in order to help them with any questions that may arise and ensure that their expectations are met.

Objectives

Our purpose is to leverage the talent of the selected students and the quality of our academic staff, in order to train future professionals of the sector with maximum quality and rigour.

Therefore, the academic methodology of this Masters programme will be eminently practical, although previously the student will have to assimilate certain theoretical knowledge that will be fundamental to master the particularities of Law that apply to our sport.

In addition, we will hold master sessions in which students will have the opportunity to interact with speakers that will share their professional experiences in a relaxed environment.

As part of these activities, we will arrange trip to Switzerland to visit the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the FIFA Headquarters and other international organizations of interest.

MODULE I - INTRODUCTION

A detailed analysis of the main aspects of law related to sport will be carried out so that students can subsequently understand the current legal and social framework in this regard. Likewise, in this first phase we will try to consolidate some fundamental legal concepts and understand the organisation of our industry in the main regions of the world.

MODULE II - LEADING SPORT INSTITUTIONS

We will study both national and international sports institutions, focusing on those organisations that are directly related to the world of football: FIFA, UEFA, EPFL, LaLiga and ECA.

MODULE III - LEGAL ASPECTS APPLIED TO SPORT

We will carefully examine the particularities of each of the main fields of law affecting sport, namely labour law, commercial law, tax law, Audiovisual Media Services regulations, Regulatory Compliance and National and International Federative Regulations and so on, through work sessions and case studies reflecting the real quandaries of this sector.

MODULE IV - CONFLICTS RESOLUTION

We will explain in detail the different mechanisms available for conflict resolution, paying special attention to the preparation of proceedings before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Likewise, we will address the different resolutions by this Court that have generated case-law in recent history.

MODULE V - SUPPLEMENTRY REGULATIONS

Regulation of intermediaries, doping, violence prevention or legislation on current betting issues.

MODULE VI - REGULATION OF OTHER SPORTS

Students will learn about the legal aspects that regulate the operation of other sports, which, despite not having the leading role of football, have sufficient business volume to offer new professional opportunities.

MODULE VII - NEW DEVELOPMENT AREAS

We will study in depth the growing areas of sport, such as women's football and eSports. Likewise, we will also conduct teaching sessions to familiarize students with other subjects, which, regardless of their lack of strictly legal content, are fundamental to understand the new perspective of our business: digital strategy, corporate social responsibility or new communication techniques.

MODULE VIII - PRACTICUM

Students will have the opportunity to put into practice all the knowledge acquired during the master's programme by carrying out internships in a Sports Industry Institution or entity.

Students who, due to their professional situation, are unable to carry out these internships, must present an alternative individual work.
