Bucerius Law School

The Bucerius Law School, the first privately operated law school in Germany, was founded in 2000 with an objective of offering students an alternative to the usual legal education provided at German state universities. The main objective is to create an academically accomplished, practice-oriented, and bi-lingual legal education with a focus on international business law. Bucerius Law School graduates acquire the LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) degree and are prepared to compete in Germany's First State Examination in Law wherein admissions are based solely on the merit of a student.
