The course is are carried out in partnership with a foreign university.

The standard period of study is three semesters.

Students complete the first and third semesters at the partner university; the second at Wismar University of Applied Sciences. During the third semester, when the students are back at their home university, lessons take place in the form of e-learning as part of the study programme at Wismar University.

There is a compulsory subject component, and also the opportunity tp specialise by choosing appropriate elective modules.

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.

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.

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.
