Comillas Pontifical University was founded in 1890 as a private Catholic university in Comillas before moving to Madrid in the 1960s. Comillas Pontifical University (icai- icade) is administered by the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, a religious order that manages some 200 universities around the world. The university combines a long history of experience in education, characterized by academic excellence and a humanistic tradition in teaching, with a constant desire for modernization, stimulated by constant social change. The Faculty of Law is located on the Alberto Aguilera campus and offers a range of law courses related to international business, human rights and EU law. Madrid is the capital of Spain and is the center of political, government and financial life. The largest Spanish companies and major multinational corporations have their headquarters in the city, which make it an ideal location to conduct global business.

Course Offerings
The coordinator for international relations for Comillas Law School will advise students on the selection of subjects. Students completing the exchange program will receive a pre-registration course email (in July for Fall and in December for Spring). Upon arrival at Comillas students will have to show proof of health insurance before finalizing their course registration. Course offerings for exchange students can be found here. Courses open to exchange students are mostly taught in Spanish. Courses offered may change at the discretion of the partner school. Students are not allowed to mix courses from other Faculties.
Students may not transfer foreign language or other non-law courses taken at the partner exchange school back to Miami Law for J.D. credit. If a student enrolls in such courses, they understand they are for self-interest only and will not be considered for transfer towards their J.D. degree.
