Overview

Humboldt University

Our dual degree English Law & German Law programme provides a challenging bi-juridical and bilingual education that is respected and valued by a wide range of employers.

Our course is equally suitable as a platform for students who want to practice in England and Wales but wish to obtain an in-depth knowledge of German law or those who intend to practice in Germany, or both.

Please note: International students who indicate a preference for the LLM pathway are normally eligible for a UK Student visa for all four years of study. They are also eligible for the UK Graduate visa (subject to UK immigration rule changes). International students who indicate a preference for the First State Exam pathway are normally eligible for a UK Student visa for the first two years of study only, i.e. for the UK-based study period only. First State Exam pathway students are not eligible for the UK Graduate visa. International students are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that their study programme meets their visa requirements both during and after the programme.
