"I'm leaving college with a sense of gratitude, friends, and a real excitement for what's to come"

With less than two months to go before he graduates with a law degree from the University of Navarra, Luis Rojo Viguera reflects on a period that, as he acknowledges, has left a lasting mark on him. Amid the excitement of his experiences and uncertainty about the future, he speaks candidly about his time at the university, the effort work Degree the challenges he faces moving forward.

You're less than 60 days away from graduation—what's going through your mind right now?

Above all, gratitude. That’s the first thing that comes to mind. But there’s also a kind of tension between two things: on the one hand, the sadness of leaving—because these have been four years I’ll never forget—and, on the other, a strong desire to see what comes next. It’s a mix of all that: gratitude, nostalgia, and anticipation.

How would you sum up your time in college?

I'd say it's been a very intense and fulfilling experience. I've gained so much from it, both academically and from the staff.

What was your work about Degree why did you choose that topic?

I chose the Public Law track, which is what I’d like to pursue in the future. The work covered several areas: tax law, labor and social security law, criminal law, and administrative law. It’s been demanding and quite challenging, but also very rewarding.

What was the most challenging part of your final project for you?

Without a doubt, the work the complexity of the topics. It’s a demanding process, but once you finish it, the sense of accomplishment makes all the effort worthwhile.

What has it meant for you to be part of the Honors Program and receive the scholarship ?

It's been a really great experience. The Honors program not only complements the training, but also opens up many doors: talks, meetings with professionals, and opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have.

And scholarship can create some pressure, because you know they expect a lot from you, but it’s a positive kind of pressure. When you live up to those expectations, it feels really rewarding.

What was your subject during your degree program why?

I really enjoyed public law in general, but if I had to choose, I’d say Procedural Law—both civil and criminal. That’s where you really start to see how the law works in everyday life, and that makes it especially interesting.

There have been tough times, of course, but they're part of the process. In the end, with hard work and perseverance, you get through them.

What do you take away from college beyond the academic aspects?

Countless friends, contacts, and experiences. But above all, a way of understanding the profession: not just as a technical field, but also as a service to others. That’s what matters most.

What challenges are you facing now that you're about to graduate?

The first is to make the most of what’s left. I plan to say yes to everything in this final stretch. After that, I plan to do an internship at Gómez Acebo Pombo in the area , and from there, I’m considering several options: taking the civil service exam—perhaps for the judiciary or the State Legal Service—or pursuing a Master's Degree focusing my degree program business law.

What committee would you give committee someone just starting law school?

Be curious. Don't settle for just what you're given in class. Make the most of everything: teachers, activities, opportunities… Because you're surrounded by people who know a great deal, and you need to take full advantage of that.
