Perspectives after graduation
On graduation from your Master's programme, you will receive the degree "Master of Laws (LL.M.)". If the study and examination regulations of the partner university allow for this, the degree can be obtained as part of a joint degree programme.
This qualifies you for activities in all areas in which legal and business skills are required. The degree opens up opportunities for you to work in business enterprises, associations and other national and international organisations that are active in German-Russian or international legal relations.
Based on your knowledge of transnational and international contexts, you will be able to work as a manager and specialist in a wide variety of functions.
In addition, a German university degree enables you to apply for a further residence permit to look for work in Germany for up to 18 months. All you have to do is prove that you have sufficient means of subsistence. This is also possible through gainful employment in Germany. If you find a job that is appropriate for your qualification as a Master of Laws within the 18 months, your residence permit can be converted into one for the purpose of employment.
Notice;
It is only possible to become a judges, public prosecutors or lawyers in Germany, if you have passed two state examinations in law. A Bachelor's or Master's degree is not sufficient.
