Master’s students will have the opportunity to undertake internships at law firms and institutions affiliated with ISDE in Mexico City, the United States, or Madrid.

For those without an assigned firm, ISDE can assist in placing them in one of the collaborating institutions.
As an optional addition to the master’s program, students can participate in a one-week in-person program at New York University in New York City. During this stay, they will join students from the Madrid and Barcelona campuses in an exclusive course on negotiation.
