What we offer you

The MBL-FU is a postgraduate master program in law (LL.M.). It lasts for one academic year. You will obtain in-depth knowledge on cutting-edge questions of European and International Competition and Regulatory Law.

Our lecturers are renowned legal and economic academics as well as practitioners from all around the world – from officials of the European Commission and national authorities to attorneys at international law firms and multinational companies. Their classes cover a wide range of topics, from foundational theoretical and economic questions to all aspects of European and international competition law, to intellectual property and other crucial issues driving important sectors of today’s (digital) economy.

You will study seven modules and write a master thesis. Each module consists of in-class lectures, seminars and tutorials. Classes are held on Fridays and Saturdays and occasionally on Thursdays at the Department of Law. Online study and work components complement and build upon these lectures.
