Abstract
This work is an assessment and general reflection about the opportunity and feasibility of a specific educational project for the University of Barcelona School of Law, considering the general framework of Spanish public universities. For that purpose, the concept of specific educational project at school level is defined, and precedents identified in literature as well as in our higher educational system. Secondly, we enumerate the elements that could occasionally configure a University “School Educational Project”, based upon the academic experience of University of Barcelona School of Law. This contribution relates the core and the complementary components of the project. Moreover, some further action lines are suggested in order to fulfill the evolution of the University of Barcelona School of Law educational project. In summary, our contribution aims to create a debate, mainly between the institutions involved in Law education, but also between any other Schools or programs in public universities, about the convenience of having and publishing an explicit Institutional Educational Project at school/program level. Such type of project could be not only a key element for improving the teaching performance and the educational planning, but also a tool to set the student’s educational framework that at the end should become a main key institutional identity element.

Summary
El objeto de este estudio consiste en analizar la oportunidad y la viabilidad del “Proyecto educativo de centro” en el ámbito universitario. Para Barberà, el proyecto educativo es “un documento de referencia obligado en el que se explicitan, resumidas, las características que van a definir el centro y las intenciones educativas u objetivos que asume como propios la comunidad educativa, con el último propósito de lograr una educación del alumnado acorde con las posibilidades contextuales de la institución escolar” (BARBERÀ, 1998, 14). Y, finalmente, este proyecto educativo es “de centro”, esto es, propio y específico de cada centro educativo, que toma en cuenta la situación concreta en la que éste se encuentra, en todas sus dimensiones –desde el personal, tanto docente e investigador, como de gestión, y también los estudiantes, hasta los medios materiales y económicos disponibles y las instalaciones-- y las características específicas del contexto en el que debe llevarse a cabo. Publicarlo en un lugar visible en la web del centro parece la mejor solución, pero no como “requisito formal”, sino asumiendo una actitud proactiva en su difusión y en su conocimiento
