María Rodríguez López
My name is María and I'm from Madrid. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always liked public speaking. I’m passionate about giving a voice to those who need it and defending what I consider to be right. It’s an impulse that led me to be a class delegate and representative of all the students at my high school. Years later, this vocation is what guides my professional career.
I decided to study the Doble Máster en Abogacía y Procura + Asesoría Jurídica de Empresas (LL.M.) at IE University because of the institution's reputation and international approach. Learning with people from all over the world has been a unique and enriching experience.
"My expectations were far exceeded, confirming that I made the right decision."

Moreover, sharing the classroom with people from different parts of the world and exchanging knowledge with them has allowed her to broaden her perspective. This has been a highly enriching quality for her professional future as a lawyer. The faculty, too, has been a very positive factor in her IE Experience. Drawn from some of the most prestigious national and international law firms, the teaching staff provides an approach to law that’s both theoretical and practical. Both María and her mother agree that these characteristics make IE University a unique institution, and the program exceptional.
The curriculum of the Doble Máster en Abogacía y Procura + Asesoría Jurídica de Empresas (LL.M.) includes rigorous theoretical learning, but the practical side is also incredibly important. “The combination of theoretical knowledge with practical experiences comprehensively prepares students for real-world challenges,” María’s mother tells us. Thanks to its innovative teaching methodology and use of cutting-edge technologies, this program is at the forefront of legal education. It’s one of the characteristics that distinguish IE University from other institutions. This made it clear to both of them that María would find an education of the highest quality that is up-to-date with the needs of the labor market right here.
María is now part of the large IE University family. She has an extensive support network and countless contacts that will go with her well beyond her studies.
