Program details

Overview

Law is a two-year master's programme of 120 ECTS credits leading to the ML degree in the Department of Law. It follows directly from the BA in law, and the master's degree is needed to apply for licensure as a judge or advocate. Up to 7.5 credits can be gained through approved professional training. The studies rely heavily on independent work supervised by instructors, with a wide choice of emphases and study tracks. Students decide how to compose their studies within the department's rules, so they can concentrate on a legal field or combine law with other disciplines. Electives lean towards property law, courts and litigation, international business and international law. The programme takes at least four terms, with students expected to complete 30 credits per term, and it may be spread over up to four years.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The ML builds directly on the BA degree in law.
