“As a student of the Master's programme in German and European Business Law at the University of Siegen, I was able to gain valuable experience and deepen my knowledge. The combination of legal and economic content has given me a solid understanding of practice-relevant framework conditions. I particularly appreciate the close connection between theory and practice through internships, case studies and the use of lecturers from practice.

In addition, I had the opportunity to participate in various offices, such as the Senate or the Faculty Council. This experience gave me a deep insight into the processes and decision-making processes at the University of Siegen and not only enjoyed it, but also expanded my knowledge of the university structure.

Through the support and supervision of the lecturers, I experienced an open learning environment that allowed questions and ideas and supported me in my development. Overall, I am convinced that my master's degree offers me a good basis for my professional future. I am grateful for the experience at the University of Siegen and look forward to my future career.”

Study organisation

Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations

Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. entry requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the event of changes to the PO during the course of your studies, the original version according to which you have registered is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO. Additional regulations and detailed information for each module to be studied can be found in the annex to the subject examination regulations (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
