In the master’s programme in Law the different main areas of law are explained in relation to each other. You also follow in-depth courses in the particular field of law you have chosen. You won’t be sitting passively in class, though: in the practicum and the privatissimum you prepare actively for professional practice.

In this master’s programme you are prepared as best as possible for professional practice. Many of our lecturers come from professional practice. Much attention is paid in the master’s programme to the training of academic skills which are also of great value in practice. You take part in debates, carry out legal research, write papers and hold presentations.
A Bachelor’s in Law (LL.B.) or a Postgraduate Diploma in Law from a recognised university; in exceptional cases a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline (e.g. in Political Science or equivalent) will be acceptable, provided that a substantial number of law courses are included in the bachelor’s programme.
