Course offerings
At the Faculty of Law at LMU Munich, you can study law as part of various (partial) degree programmes with German or foreign university entrance qualifications.
Do you already hold a law degree from Germany or abroad and are considering pursuing an LL.M.? The Faculty of Law offers two distinct postgraduate programs: the LL.M. in German Law, and the LL.M. in European and International Economic Law, the latter being taught entirely in English.
Admission to the programme is only possible in the winter semester. Ms Mira Ndrenika and Ms Gundula Pabst will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the content of the programmes.

You can supplement your studies in Munich with a stay abroad (e.g. Erasmus+, LMUexchange, Japan-Korea Programme or Paris Programme). The standard period of study is 10 semesters. Admission to the programme is restricted until the 4th semester and is only possible in the winter semester.
