Program Overview

Introduction to the Integrated Bachelor of Laws Program

The University of Konstanz offers a unique and innovative approach to legal studies with its integrated Bachelor of Laws program. This program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in law, combining the benefits of a Bachelor's degree with the traditional German law degree (Staatsexamen).

Program Structure

The integrated Bachelor of Laws is a dual-degree program, where students are enrolled in both the Bachelor's program and the Staatsexamen program simultaneously. This means that students can earn two degrees in a single course of study, providing them with increased flexibility and career opportunities.

Benefits of the Program

The integrated Bachelor of Laws program offers several benefits to students, including:

• A Bachelor of Laws degree that covers all areas of law
• Recognition of academic achievements from the first semester onwards
• A degree that is not dependent on a single, final examination
• A fully accredited degree that is recognized internationally
• Easier access to further education and career opportunities, both domestically and internationally
• Reduced psychological barriers to completing the Staatsexamen
• Specialized knowledge and skills in one of eight areas of focus

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the integrated Bachelor of Laws program have a wide range of career opportunities available to them, including:

• Pursuing a Master's degree in law or a related field
• Entering the job market directly, with opportunities in fields such as human resources, compliance, and legal departments
• Pursuing further education and training in specialized areas, such as tax law or labor law
• Working in the public sector, including government agencies and administrative offices
