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.

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.
