The sum of the effor ts of the ISDE and its students without whose commitment the most qualified staff or technical resources would serve no purpose- has made us proud to see how those who trusted us with their training needs have gone on to enjoy highly successful careers and to occupy the senior positions they so brilliantly and so efficiently prepared themselves for.

The accomplishment of these objectives in recent years has driven us to never lose sight of the fact that our goal is the success of our students. Mr. Juan José Sánchez Puig Executive Director

Moreover, the students will also attend lectures for two weeks at the University of Florida, USA, in order to learn U.S. tax matters (MCUSA, FATCA, etc.) It is expected to create an award of excellence for the top three students in order to take an internship of four months in collaborating entities of the Master, specialized in international taxation. The top four students will form a team in the European Tax Moot Court (Louvain). Methodology ISDE has created a practical and an effective system, after several years working, based on learning through real cases and using the same methodology as a real lawyer. That is the reason why the education is provided both in the academic headquarters and in the law firms. Thus what it is learned is the application of the law, the detection of legal problems, the legal reasoning and the appropriate draft claims. Nevertheless this is only the first phase of the master, since in the second one the students have an internship in different prestigious law firms and national or international legal consultancies. ISDE believes that the legal practice is not based on fictitious problems, but on real cases. This is why we have the best professionals: lawyers, lecturers, and economists, who make up a perfect team and understand each other perfectly. This combined method aims at providing students with a work method which will allow them to face any kind of legal problem in future. This specific program in International Taxation LLM is completed by different common subjects that are essential for a lawyer and paying special attention to the international relations and foreign trade. In the second phase each student completes this phase at the premises of one of the collaborating entities of the master, under the conditions and rules set by those entities. For this reason, the schedule for the second phase is subject to further modifications. The total duration of the program exceeds 1.500 hours. CLASSES At ISDE Madrid Campus. SECOND PHASE Program Schedule The first phase takes place at our academic headquarters. The method is based on a combination of study of cases and case study. During this period, the student attends lectures in Madrid. The study of cases gives students a general approach to the different subjects of the program. At the same time this particular method develops students agility for legal reasoning. On the other hand, the case study consists in analyzing, deeply and precisely, those particular aspects which are especially relevant in international legal practice. From the month of September, students will be incorporated to various Spanish foreign firms for tax advice during an academic semester. They will be guided by a tutor who will be responsible for introducing them to the day to day operations of the Firm / Company and all tax matters in which the student will participate. The placement of the student will be determined by the Academic Department, based on their language skills, their academic results and the preferences expressed by the host office or firm. This will guarantee the success of a good internship and student orientation.
