Overview
The European and International Business Law LLM is unique in the European academic market in that it is a part-time Master’s programme, designed to be compatible with full-time employment. It is recognised as a full Master’s degree within the European Higher Education Area.
The programme lasts two semesters, with teaching taking place over seven weekends per semester (the first is in September and the last is in December). Teaching days are Fridays and Saturdays, all day long. Altogether, students earn 120 ECTS credits and complete 11–12 exams throughout the programme.
Attendance in person is not mandatory. All classes can be followed via Teams or Zoom, and assignments and exams are conducted online (via Teams, Moodle, or Canvas). The only mandatory in-person attendance is for the final exam and thesis defence, which take place at the end of the programme.
