About the course

The master's degree in German Law for foreign graduates is a research-focused degree that imparts professional legal expertise and allows you to develop your legal skills.

Unlike most other disciplines, laws are unique to the societies that brought them forth, and therefore vary significantly from country to country. There is a steadily growing demand for legal practitioners with in-depth knowledge of the German legal system.

Building on a previous law degree earned abroad, this degree programme gives you essential skills and specific expertise in German law, while placing special emphasis on research.

Entry Requirements

A good first degree from a non-German university, ranked among the best 25% of your cohort, and a DSH-1 or equivalent German language certificate. If you need to perfect your German first, or even learn German from scratch, we have general language and Legal German programmes which run for one semester or one academic year (the Academic German Semester and Year programmes end with the DSH test).

Fees

87 euros per semester (student services contribution)
