Bachelor in Business Law (BL) 06

In addition to its legal emphasis, the Bachelor Program in Business Law is closely related to business and economics. The program focuses on promoting the students' ability to combine business law analysis with their knowledge of business administration and economics in problem-solving processes. The students' specialized skills are complemented by the development of:

  • Analytical abilities (academic/scientific procedures and reflection)
  • Social skills (self-organization, ability to assess social situations, communication) both in law-related subjects and in classes designed specifically for this purpose.

Objectives


The Business Law program combines legal training with a solid education in business administration. Courses include a balanced mix of legal and basic business administration subjects, specialization areas and introductory courses in economics, mathematics, statistics and one foreign language.

About half of the curriculum is legal subjects, with the other economic sciences named above making up the other half of the program. Phase I of the program (the first year) includes some law courses but is mostly basic business administration, while Phase II (the second and third year of the program) concentrates for the most part on law.

Career perspectives


The question of "employability" applies to any new academic program, especially one that leads to a degree that is still unfamiliar to many (in this case the "Bachelor"): What professional opportunities will graduates find when they leave the university?

Because the program is still relatively new, no employment statistics are available yet, but graduates of the Business Law program will most likely be welcome additions to the legal departments of large companies, the staff of CEOs, the strategy and planning divisions of mid-size companies and to tax consultancies and accountancy firms. The shorter duration of the program (three years) as compared to earlier degree programs allows graduates a more rapid start in their chosen career.
