Canary Islands Approves New Bachelor’s Degree in Law

Overview

The Canary Islands government has authorized the Technological University of the Islands to establish a new official Bachelor’s degree in Law.

This move follows a series of evaluations confirming the program’s academic and social viability, including an positive report from the Canary Islands University Quality Agency (ACCUEE) earlier this year.

The approval process included checks to ensure the degree meets national quality standards and aligns with the broader European Higher Education Area.

Details

• Residents interested in studying Law now have access to a program that aligns with official education structures, which include bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.
• Students already enrolled under previous rules can transfer to this new program, pending university admission.

Funding and Costs

• Importantly, the implementation of this degree does not incur new costs for the regional government, as all criteria and procedures are already approved.

Authorization and Conditions

• The authorization, granted on November 17, 2025, remains contingent on the degree plan’s verification, ensuring it meets quality and accreditation standards.

Significance

This development reflects the region’s ongoing efforts to expand higher education opportunities in accordance with national law, offering local students more paths to legal careers without leaving the islands.
