The law programme targeted at the first legal examination (Erste Juristische Prüfung / Staatsexamen) integrates the possibility of obtaining a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) if the modules of the first six terms and the university specialisation examination of the law studies targeted at the first legal examination are successfully completed. Afterwards, students can continue within the study framework of the first legal examination or opt for the study of related consecutive master's programmes or even for a professional career.

Please note: To qualify for certain legal professions in Germany, such as judge, lawyer, notary or state attorney, you must complete a law programme targeted at the first legal examination, followed by a state-governed legal traineeship, which concludes with a second legal examination after two years.
