Graduates of the Master’s Program in Constitutional Procedural Law at Universidad de Las Américas are legal professionals with specialized training to address legal-constitutional matters in both their substantive and procedural dimensions. Graduates are constitutional scholars who are fully aware of the international framework for the protection of human rights and are capable of defending those rights across diverse jurisdictional settings.
Furthermore, graduates possess the knowledge and expertise necessary to interpret the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador and critically analyze constitutional jurisprudence. Graduates represent clients before constitutional courts in cases involving violations of constitutional rights, human rights, or other breaches of constitutional provisions. Likewise, graduates contribute to the evaluation of the constitutional justice system and participate in the formulation of proposals for its improvement. Graduates demonstrate mastery of Constitutional Procedural Law and its various mechanisms for constitutional protection, addressing both normative and practical aspects.
Ultimately, it is expected that graduates will contribute to strengthening the legal guarantee of the Constitution, especially on human rights, as well as to promote through their actions in the private or public sector a constitutional justice that contributes to the realization of the Constitution and at the same time protects the institutional balances and the development of the democratic process. Graduates can perform counseling, litigation, jurisdictional work, and research in this area.
