After successfully completing your bachelor's degree, you can deepen your technical skills (programming, database design, artificial intelligence) in the one-year master's programme LL.M.

You will need German language skills at level C1 CEFR or higher to study this degree programme.  If German was the language of instruction for your secondary school education or prior tertiary education, your academic certificates suffice as proof of your language skills. Otherwise, you will have to provide a recognised German language certificate along with your application for a place of study.

After completing the degree programme, you will be able to plan, design and support IT-driven processes in law firms, companies, courts or administrative authorities, e.g. as a legal engineer or consultant. You will also be able to independently provide digital legal services as a state-authorised collection service.

If you also enrol on the Undergraduate Law Programme alongside your LL.B. programme and pass the first and second state examination in law, you will be able to pursue the full range of legal careers.

There's no need to be afraid of digitalisation in jurisdiction, administration and the legal profession: In the Legal Tech degree programme, you will learn when it makes sense to digitalise processes and how to convince the people concerned. The focus is not on developing new tools but on working out processes and optimising them. This is less about technical expertise and more about the motivation to bring complex processes into the 21st century.

Legal Tech programme provides you with a broad legal education at state-examination level and additional knowledge from the field of information systems combined with the necessary economic knowledge. Programming and database design, on the other hand, are not a central part of the programme, as the relevant skills can largely be automated and there are already sufficient standard tools available.
