Contents

You will acquire knowledge of civil law, public law and criminal law. Here you can either concentrate on one specialisation or acquire an overview of different areas. You will gain comprehensive insight into the legal subject matter and its specific terminology and methods. Due to the breadth of the course, you can focus on very different areas: for example, commercial law, personal law (e.g. family law, inheritance law, employment law), medical and pharmaceutical law, international and European law, digitalisation law or specialist areas of criminal law (e.g. juvenile criminal law, criminology, international criminal law).

An integral part of the combined Bachelor's degree is the MarSkills programme, in which you will acquire valuable, future-oriented skills.

Prospects

You can identify legal issues, categorise them from a legal perspective and develop potential solutions with the help of scientific legal working methods. You can incorporate this ability into the skills you have learnt through your major subject. Simultaneously, you will be able to work together with legal experts in an interdisciplinary fashion.

A minor subject will help you to extend your professional qualifications profile, which is decisively shaped by the choice of your major subject. In conjunction with your major subject, your relevant work experience (e.g. internships, part-time jobs, voluntary work) and your personal skills, it will enable you to refine your profile and carve out your own individual array of career options.
