I. Academic extension activities
Debate tournament
The objective is for students to develop skills in a solid way, logical argumentation and correct oratory, as well as teamwork and search for information, legislation and jurisprudence.
The activity was carried out in two phases and most of the pairs had to participate in approximately 6 debates.
Nebrija Moot Court
It is an activity organized by the Department of Law, which intends, through trial simulation, for students to learn about the reality of the Courts, and the professional practice of lawyers. The 1st-year Law students took part in the simulation against the 2nd-year students. The acquired skills are the following:
Development of legal oratory and rhetoric. Ability to write legal texts. Ability for legal argumentation. Ability to analyze, interpret and understand legal texts. Ability to identify and resolve legal problems. Ability to correctly manage the legal databases of legislation, jurisprudence and doctrine. Acquisition of a critical conscience in the analysis of the legal system and development of legal reasoning. Ability to use constitutional principles and values as a working tool in the interpretation of the legal system. Become aware of the importance of Law as a regulatory system of social relations.
Trip to Brussels
In this activity, Nebrija students have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the different institutions of the European Union located in Brussels, having been invited by the European Parliament. In order to select the students, a seminar is held annually by Department professors and after a simulation and a test, the students who will take the trip are selected.
In Brussels, they will visit the Charlemagne Building of the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament and the Office of the Community of Madrid. In all the venues, conferences are attended that bring them closer to the reality of the Union and its Law.
Through this extracurricular educational activity, the following skills are acquired: fostering their personal ability to search for sources of information, legislation, the ability for oratory, argumentation, overcoming challenges, negotiation skills, development of specialized technical language, improvement of a second foreign language, and acquisition of social skills in terms of proper manners and behavior in different situations.
Seminar: Legal Sources
Seminar for 1st and 2nd-year Law students to learn how to use the main databases and sources of legal information. They develop the skills to apply ICT to the field of Legal Sciences, become familiar with the use of legislative and jurisprudential databases, as well as specific software, to organize and manage their own time, to analyze and synthesize information that allows them to formulate judgments.
II. Visits to companies, institutions or places of cultural interest
Visit to the Patent and Trademark Office
Commercial Law students visited the SPTO (Spanish Patent and Trademark Office), getting to know the institution from the inside, and visited the different sections where various research projects were explained to them, and allowed them to learn firsthand how and why a trademark is accepted or rejected.
Visit to ICEX
Law and Business Administration students visited ICEX. The visit involved giving them the opportunity to learn about the following areas: the experiences of Spanish companies abroad, obtaining financing, ICEX support inside and outside our borders, the results obtained by Spanish companies, how to interrelate internet with the business, and ultimately how to create and expand the company inside and outside our borders.
Visit to the National Commission of Markets and Competition
Law students visited the CNMC, one of the most important bodies in the legal framework, whose study falls within Commercial Law. This is the body that guarantees free competition and regulates all markets and productive sectors of the Spanish economy to protect consumers.
At Nebrija and the Commercial Law area, we believe it is key that the students could learn how the institution works from the inside and see first-hand cases that had been submitted to the institution itself, and that they could experience a practical case in which they were the protagonists at the end of the visit.
Visit to the Criminal Courts
The 2nd-year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Law, who are taking the subject of Crimes and Misdemeanors in the Spanish Legal System, and the 4th-year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Law, who are taking the subject of Criminal Procedure Law, visited the Criminal Courts.
During the visit to the Provincial Court of Madrid, they witnessed an abbreviated criminal trial, which helped them to realize that criminal law and criminal procedural law are interrelated.
Visit to the Social Courts
The students visited the headquarters of the Social Courts of Madrid and attended various hearings. The visit began with a presentation on how social jurisdiction is organized.
Among the hearings attended were those of objective dismissal, claim of amount, and substantial modification of working conditions.
Visit to SMAC
The students visited the Arbitration and Conciliation Mediation Service of the Community of Madrid, and were able to learn first-hand how mediation works prior to the common jurisdictional route in the social sphere. The students were able to see the different situations that occur in this process.
Visit to a prison
The students of the subject of Developing a Spirit of Participation and Solidarity: Human Rights, as well as 1st-year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Law, visited the Madrid II (Alcalá – Meco) Penitentiary Center. They were accompanied by Mr. Ángel Plaza, Deputy Director of the center, and professors Luis García and Jordi Regi.
The students were able to see for themselves the conditions in which inmates are treated in the Spanish prison system, visiting the cells and interacting with some inmates.
Visit to the Garrigues Study Center and colloquium
The students learned about the professional experience of the office lawyer, issues regarding professional ethics, client relations and, in general, about the panorama of professional opportunities in the practice of law.
International Relations Activities
Institutional visitsVisits to different institutions, both national and international, allow students to further expand their knowledge of some of the decision-making mechanisms and forums, both internally as well as in matters of foreign policy and at the international level. This activity gave our students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the Congress of Deputies, the Ibero-American General Secretariat, the Office of the European Commission, Embassies of other countries in Spain, and the World Tourism Organization, among other institutions.
Nebrija MUNThe Nebrija University International Relations area promoted the creation of a Nebrija MUN Association that allows our students to participate in the different MUNs (Model United Nations) organized each year by the most prestigious university centers in the world. This activity gives our students the opportunity not only to become familiar with the practice of international discussion and negotiation, but also to improve their oratory and further expand their knowledge of both different international issues and the foreign policy of the different states.
Specialized conferences Each academic year, specialized conferences take place, which include: Seminars, Conferences with experts and round tables, so that the students of the Bachelor's Degree in International Relations have the opportunity to further learn about the most relevant issues of the structure and dynamics of today's international society.
Professional meetings International Relations students come into contact with professionals from the different fields for which the Bachelor's Degree prepares them: Diplomatic Corps, International Consulting, Cooperation and Development, Defense Missions, International Organizations, both governmental and non-governmental. In a relaxed atmosphere, the guests (ambassadors, senior officials, international observers, OIG staff, Think Tanks, etc.) explain how their activity is carried out in the international context and the functions they perform, bringing different professional profiles closer to the students of the Bachelor's Degree.

Nebrija’s UNICEF Campus Nebrija University students launched the Nebrija UNICEF Campus.
