LLM degree requirements and teaching method

« back

Students need to obtain 60 credits, over a period of two semesters. There is great flexibility in shaping one's own curriculum. Only 12 credits cover compulsory courses, all of which are supporting courses, including an introduction to an important non-European legal system. Students are also required to write a 15 credit LLM-paper in connection with one of their classes. 

The bulk of the credits is filled with elective courses on a variety of topics. Students can choose from no fewer than forty different courses, all of which are exclusively taught in English and for LLM students and a small number of exchange students. Classes are limited in size and teaching is generally done interactively, requiring advanced reading and class participation. The programme typically hosts several internationally reputed guest professors. 

Organised social activities are an important part of the LLM-experience, and not all are extracurricular. Curricular activities include guided visits to important EU and international institutions, and participation in several colloquia.
