About the Programme

In the international economy, there is a steadily-growing demand for attorneys and managers who have a command of both legal and economic issues. Despite this demand, few educational institutions offer programs of study that analyze the legal and economic fields in a targeted and integrated manner.

Bucerius Law School and the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management jointly offer a one-year, English-language Master in Law and Business (“MLB”) program. The MLB is truly a “joint” degree, combining numerous aspects of international business law with issues of international management. Because course participants will be trained systematically in both the legal and economic fields, they will obtain a unique ability to analyze the ever-increasing number of international business issues that involve both legal and economic elements.

The program is particularly designed for graduates in law or business/economics and young professionals with some working experience. The program also admits a limited number of graduates from other academic backgrounds who have strong professional interest in legal and business questions. Prior professional experience is welcomed, but is not a prerequisite to participation.

The MLB consists of several components that, when taken together, add up to a unique program that offers strong professional instruction, a significant research element, an internship, language-skills training for participants who speak a native language other than English, and a “Studium Generale” (general course of studies). As a general rule, all students participate in all elements of the program, thus providing them with both depth and breadth of experience.

The MLB is a full-year program. After Orientation in late August, the academic year begins with fall term (September to December). The fall term consists - as do spring and summer terms - of both a legal portion and a business segment. The spring term (January to April) combines a six-week teaching block with an eight-week internship, in either a law firm or a corporation. The program supports participants in obtaining a suitable internship. The summer term (May to July) consists of six teaching weeks and the nine-week master’s thesis phase. Graduation takes place at the end of August.

Classroom instruction in the MLB program has several hallmarks: First, instruction is internationally and comparatively oriented. Because international lawyers and managers are problem-solvers whose experience transcends national boundaries, participants learn to assess issues from European, North American, and other perspectives. Second, MLB course work is designed to insure that all students have an understanding of the fundamentals of both international business law and international business concepts. The program addresses these fundamentals in the fall term. Third, the MLB program addresses a wide range of topics from both a legal and a business perspective. Primarily in the second two trimesters of the program, many courses in international business law are coordinated with courses in International Management. For example, a course in trademark law can be taken in conjunction with a course on Marketing; a course in Antitrust Law can be accompanied by a course in Competition Policy and Industrial Organization.
