Master of Laws in German Law (LLM)

The Faculty of Law is offering a Master’s degree programme that focuses explicitly on German law in the German language for law graduates who obtained their degrees abroad. This degree programme is spread over two semesters, and it allows students to study German law and its methods through individual specialisation and comparative law elements. The Master of Laws in German Law (LLM) degree programme is aimed at lawyers who already have completed a Bachelor's or Master’s degree with at least 240 ECTS credits in another jurisdiction. The degree programme consists of three study phases. The first phase consists of compulsory introductory modules (10 ECTS). In the second phase, students must successfully complete a required elective area (35 ECTS credits) chosen from five areas of concentration (Civil Law, Labour and Social Law, Commercial Law, Public Law or Criminal Law). The Master’s thesis (15 ECTS credits) is completed in the third phase.
