Requirements

Qualification Requirements

Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent). Most of the students hold a previous degree in law, natural sciences, or engineering, but students from other disciplines are welcome. If the subject of your prior studies seems to lack an obvious relation to IP, you need to convince the university in your letter of motivation why you are nevertheless an interesting candidate for the LL.M. program.

Minimum standard period of study: 4 years.
Required ECTS credits: 240.

If you have fewer than 240 ECTS credits, additional credits you have gained from professional experience can be recognized. You can earn a maximum of 60 ECTS credits that way. However, you must then have at least two years of professional experience: one year for the extra credits, and another year to satisfy the professional experience requirement.

Work Experience

One year of professional experience is required. If your only degree is a three-year bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits), you will need at least two years of full-time professional experience ("full-time" means that your working time should have been approx. 35-40 hours per week).
