Law: Bachelor of Laws

Leuphana Bachelor

Hiring a new employee, negotiating with the workers' council, taking on a loan, switching legal forms, finalising a sales contract or expanding abroad – almost all economic decisions in a business are made within a legal framework.

Please note

The Law major is offered in the German language and is thus directed at prospective students with a good command of German. The programme’s German-language web pages provide detailed information needed on the content of the course and application procedures.

Course Structure

The Law major is embedded in the interdisciplinary College study model with Leuphana Semester, Minor and Complementary Studies. You start your Bachelor studies with the Leuphana Semester. The first semester at Leuphana College gives you the opportunity to deal fundamentally with science. The Minor deepens or supplements your Law major with another subject area. In Complementary Studies you have the freedom to pursue your thirst for knowledge individually by immersing yourself in a different field of knowledge each semester.
