The Master’s program covers four semesters. It includes 600 hours of direct contact with the professor, divided between the common curriculum and the focus area chosen by the student. It consists of 55 academic credits.
The program has three components. The first is the common curriculum, the material from which is covered over two semesters. The purpose of the common curriculum is to provide the theoretical, methodological, hermeneutic and argumentative tools that ensure a contextualized understanding of contemporary law, and also qualify students to carry out socially- and ethically-responsible work. The master’s thesis course represents the research training component of the program; it lasts for the duration of the program and includes classroom hours and other office hours with the students’ academic advisor. The student is expected to apply the knowledge they have acquired and use their legal comprehension and problem-solving skills to develop their thesis, as well as their skills of writing logical and well-argued texts, and more. Alternatively, and instead of the master’s thesis, the student may choose to pursue an unpaid internship at one of the university's centers. For concentrations in judicial law, procedural law, public law, criminal law and labor and social security law, students can work at Universidad Icesi's Law Group for the Public Interest (GAPI). For concentrations in business law, commercial law, and tax law, the program has a collaborative relationship with Universidad Icesi's Center for the Development of the Entrepreneurial Spirit (CDEE), where the students can advise the SMEs that work with the center's Departamento PROPyME (SME Department).
The second component also lasts two semesters and includes the courses specific to the specialization chosen by the student. The third component is represented by the elective materials that the student may freely choose to delve deeper into specific topics and areas of academic interest.
