The past few decades have been characterized by a fundamental change in the education curricula of both the legal and the economic sciences. Economics, particularly business administration and management-oriented subjects have experienced a considerable development accompanied by an increasing juridification, whereas in law, economic competencies are gaining in importance. This trend is eclipsed by a high degree of specialization and internationalization in both disciplines. As a result of these developments, an entirely new and future-oriented field of activity is being created right at the interface between economics and law, offering excellent career prospects to graduates. Owing to the strong emphasis on interdisciplinary education, graduates of this study program possess excellent competencies both for addressing legal issues in an economic context and for developing business- and management- oriented solutions in a legal context. Graduates are therefore particularly equipped for a career in areas where economic and legal issues are interrelated, and innovative and interdisciplinary approaches are essential. Graduates of the program can work in the following sectors:

The study program Management & Law comprises 6 semesters of 18 weeks each, providing courses totalling 110 semester credit units. Winter semesters start in end of September and continue until February; summer semesters start in March and end in July. Attendance is generally compulsory for all courses. During the sixth semester students will complete a professional internship of not less than 13 weeks. The language of instruction is generally German; individual courses and exams, however, may be given in other languages. The main focus of the program is put on a sound education in business administration with a strong emphasis on commercial law, comprising especially knowledge of the latest developments in economics and law, an integral comprehension of entrepreneurial processes and the development of profound management skills. Particular emphasis is put on creating an awareness of legal issues and contexts, and on the interdisciplinary evaluation of problems from both a legal and an economic perspective. Personality development and the acquisition of social skills are essential goals of the study program. Graduates have a good command of communication, negotiation and presentation techniques, and of the organization of team processes. Project management, information and communication technologies and an excellent command of foreign languages are other major foci of the study program, complemented by international aspects, case studies, project assignments and internships to guarantee excellent opportunities on the job market for the graduates. schedule:
