Master German Law & Economics

German Law

Master of Laws (L.L.M.)

About the Program

The Master's degree course is aimed at international graduates who wish to specialize in German law. The two-semester course has a strong focus on European law and therefore differs from most Master's courses in German law in Germany. European law is becoming an increasingly important part of legal training. Particularly in civil, constitutional and administrative law, it is hardly possible to study German law in isolation without reference to European law. Right from the start, students have to decide whether they want to focus their studies on private, criminal or public law. Two basic modules provide an introduction to German law, while the second semester is devoted exclusively to in-depth study.
