Programme structure
Outline
The programme is organised over two semesters (one year) or four semesters (two years). Core subjects are covered in the first year. Students on the one-year track complete a master’s thesis during the second semester, while those on the two-year track take three more electives and devote the final semester to the thesis. An optional internship, offered as part of the electives, provides valuable practical experience and the opportunity to apply legal knowledge in a professional context.
