Bachelor´s of Business Law - Labour law and human ressources

In today's business world, legal and economic issues are usually closely linked. This results in a high demand for specialists and managers in companies and administrations who, as ‘all-rounders’ with knowledge of legal requirements, can avoid problems, resolve conflicts and organise economic events in a legally secure manner.
As a business lawyer, you will meet precisely these requirements, as our interdisciplinary course combines legal and economic content and thus qualifies you for a wide range of professional tasks with a focus on labour law and human resources. The degree programme thus provides you with an independent profile and unique selling point compared to traditional law or business studies.
