Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits (Bachelor’s Degree)

The study program Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits, will be restructured as part of the Study Reform 2021. Instead of the core elective module, students must now complete compulsory modules and write a case study.

The study program Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits, provides an introduction to law, the basic methodological principles, and the basic competencies in private law and public law.

Students must complete the following individual modules*:

*Modules listed in German are taught exclusively in German.

The compulsory modules can be repeated once.

The case study core elective modules can each be repeated twice. They can be substituted with other modules from the core elective pool.

Who is Affected?

The transitional regulations apply to students who are already enrolled in a minor program in Law at the bachelor's level of the in Spring Semester 2021, but who have not completed it or been permanently excluded. Starting in Fall Semester 2021, students will be transferred to the study program Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits, based on the new regulations. The previous modules will then no longer be offered if they are not continued in the new degree program.

What Needs to be Kept in Mind?

Bachelor’s degree modules that were completed successfully before the changeover will be credited toward the revised study program Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits, on the basis of the number of ECTS credits received in accordance with the provisions of the old program regulations. 30 ECTS credits are required for the degree.

To make the transition to the study program Law as a Minor, 30 ECTS Credits, as smooth as possible, students will largely be able to choose their modules (Faculty of Law Bachelor’s degree module range). The minor will be completed in accordance with the new regulations.

Failed attempts taken up to and including Spring Semester 2021 will not be taken into account, provided that they have not already led to student’s exclusion from the degree program.

Transition Table*

For modules according to the new regulations, the repeat regulation according to the new regulations also applies. If a compulsory module according to the new order is not passed twice, the definitive exclusion from studies takes place.

*Modules listed in German are taught exclusively in German.
