Jurisprudence & Legal Studies NC

Jurisprudence & Legal Studies explores the deeper questions of law—its philosophy, theory, and role in shaping society. Students engage with fundamental issues such as the meaning of rights, the foundations of justice, and the legitimacy of legal authority, while critically examining schools of thought ranging from natural law to legal positivism. The field also investigates the complex relationship between morality and law, encouraging students to question how legal systems both reflect and influence ethical values.

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
