The Oñati M.A. also provides an excellent preparation for a Doctoral programme in a student's home country, or anywhere in the world. The taught courses give a firm grounding both of skills acquired and contacts within the socio-legal community, and the Master's dissertation often provides the basis for further topics to be researched at the Doctoral level. Many of the best Master's theses are displayed and can be downloaded from the Institute's website (http://www.iisj.es)
