Curriculum

There are no separate lectures for master’s students. Master’s students take part in the same courses as German students. 

• The core component of the post-graduate programme is the master’s thesis, which is to be submitted to the master’s committee in six months, following the duly completed course component.

• The compulsory course component of the programme which precedes the master’s thesis enables a section of suitable lectures and, in this way, a certain focus area to be found. However, it is not possible to concentrate on just one area of the law. On the contrary, study in two of the three large legal areas – civil law, public law and criminal law– is stipulated.
