Duration
4 Years
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The first two years of study are the same as for the three-year LLB degree, with two exceptions:
First-year students are required to take a module in German law, taught in German and including the law, legal institutions and legal terminology. The department does not offer language tuition and students will be responsible for maintaining, or, if necessary, improving their linguistic ability in German to meet the academic demands of the degree.
Second-year students are required to take the European Legal Studies module, which includes tuition in German about the law and the legal system of Germany.
The third year of study is spent abroad at a host partner university in Germany. The typical course of study for a certificate in German law comprises three full-year courses or six one-semester courses in Civil/Private Law, Public Law, and other optional modules in German Law.
