Recht und Wirtschaft
The interdisciplinary degree programme in Law and Business qualifies students for the legal and business challenges of modern business. The programme focuses on the structure and functioning of the German and European legal system as well as the central regulatory complexes of business law - always in interaction with business and economic contexts.
Thanks to the close interlinking of legal and economic content, you will develop a strong interdisciplinary understanding. You will learn to systematically analyse business law problems and develop viable solutions - precisely where law and business meet in practice.
The compulsory modules first lay your specialist foundation and then go into greater depth on the content that is particularly relevant in professional practice. The focus here is on key legal and economic topics. The compulsory elective modules also open up a wide range of opportunities for you to develop your own individual profile: You can set your own priorities, deepen your knowledge of legal methods and develop your interdisciplinary thinking in different teaching and learning formats.
In terms of content, you will acquire comprehensive knowledge in the central areas of law - including civil law, commercial and corporate law, labour law, competition law and European business law. This is supplemented by specialised areas such as raw materials and environmental law, construction and planning law, innovation law and data management and technology law. At the same time, you will be taught solid business fundamentals, such as accounting, cost accounting, marketing, financing, personnel management and corporate management.
A particular feature of the degree programme is its strong practical orientation: case studies, contract analyses, workshops and integrated internships ensure a direct link to the professional world. As a result, you will be ideally prepared to recognise legal risks in economic contexts at an early stage, draft legally compliant contracts and evaluate operational decisions from a legal and economic perspective.
