Target group
The degree course is aimed at graduates with a first professionally qualifying degree in Law, i.e. the degree course for the First Law Examination or a Bachelor's degree in Law. In addition, the degree course also appeals to graduates with an affinity for law from other fields of study who want to continue their education in business and labour law and who, in addition to their degree, have already acquired their first professional experience in dealing with business or labour law issues and questions. There are interesting recognition regulations for graduates of the former supplementary degree course in Business and Labour Law at the FernUniversität in Hagen (distance-learning university), which also result in a reduction in fees. Please contact the Student Advice Office.
Admission requirements
Admission to the degree course requires the successful completion of a university degree lasting for at least six semesters (180 ECTS) regardless of the subject area. In addition, at least one year of qualified professional experience in companies or organisations involving dealing with business or labour law issues and questions is required. The qualified vocational experience must have been obtained after completing the university degree pursuant to sentence 1 or during it. Practical phases in a university degree programme with vocational and academic elements and compulsory internships are not taken into account. Part-time work is taken into account pro rata temporis. Enrolment is carried out as continuing education students. Depending on your previous education, you will be enrolled in a degree course worth 60, 90 or 120 ECTS points.
