A delegation from the University of Málaga and the University of Deusto visited UP on June 4, 2018 to strengthen a graduate academic exchange project in Law for the former and to explore ties for the latter. The delegation met with UP President Danilo Concepcion and UP College of Law representatives.

Concepcion said the UP College of Law will offer next year a Master of Law course at the UP Professional Schools-Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, which the delegates also visited.

“I’m looking forward to stronger relationships of our schools, and hopefully, with the University of Deusto, and some more Spanish schools,” Concepcion said. (Jo. Lontoc, UP MPRO)
