Bachelor International Business Law

In today's business world, economic and legal issues are usually closely linked - especially in an export nation like Germany. This results in a high demand for appropriately trained specialists in companies who, as ‘all-rounders’ with knowledge of international legal requirements, can avoid problems, resolve conflicts and organise economic activities in a legally secure manner.
As a ‘Bachelor of Laws’, you will fulfil precisely these requirements, as our interdisciplinary course combines legal and economic content and thus qualifies you for a wide range of (international) professional tasks. The degree programme thus provides you with an independent profile and unique selling point compared to traditional law or business studies.
