Bachelor of Laws – LL.B.
Understand how European law works

Develop the way lawyers think
The Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) is a 4-year undergraduate degree that introduces you to the foundations of legal systems and legal reasoning. From your first semesters, you study the core areas of Law and learn how legal rules are created, interpreted, and applied in real situations. Your studies focus on European Law, while also exploring international and comparative legal systems. This helps you understand how Laws interact across different countries and institutions. Throughout the program, you develop the way lawyers work:
analysing problems, interpreting legal texts, building arguments, and thinking critically about legal decisions. By the time you graduate, you have a solid legal foundation and the preparation to continue with postgraduate studies or pursue professional opportunities across different legal environments.
