This programme offers a professional legal qualification, enabling graduates to apply for an LL.M. programme or to directly enter into professional employment.
If you start your studies before this time, you can still profit from the new programme! Your credits obtained up to date will be recognised.

The University intends to establish a new location in the Bremen city centre in 2024 with the Faculty of Law.
