About the Program

Jurisprudence is concerned with applicable law, with its systematic and conceptional pervasion and interpretation, as well as the history of law and its relation to other areas of life. Students of Jurisprudence acquire competences in law. This includes gaining an understanding of how the law functions, together with its methods and effectiveness - and once in possession of this knowledge, being able to apply legal rules to social, political and economic issues. During the first academic year the focus is put on the basic legal principles of law as well as the German constitutional law. From the second academic year on the students specialize in one subject area of law: civil law, criminal law or public law. Note: Jurisprudence as an area program studied as a subsidiary subject does not qualify students for the first state examination, which is prerequisite for pursuing a "classical" career in the field of law.
