The doctoral program consists of eight semesters, divided into two parts. The first part (so-called educational part) consists of four semesters, where obligatory (lectures and other mandatory seminars related to the doctoral program concerned) and optional subjects are accomplished. This educational part is completed by a complex exam of which successful accomplishment allows the students to step forward. The main objective of the V-VIII semesters - the research and dissertation phase – is to carry out research, to publish scientific papers and write the PhD dissertation. PhD students also need to collect 30-30 credits per semester in these four semesters. Following the four years, PhD students have another year to complete and submit their PhD dissertation. The preliminary assessment of the dissertation takes place at the so-called workplace dispute, after which it is defended in a public debate. The program provides a modern, business-focused law degree with a special European character, focusing on the tendencies of the European and international markets. The program gives students the opportunity to boost their legal expertise to a more advanced level, as they learn how European and international law make a remarkable impact on business life, and explore both legislative and judicial elements of European business law, trade law, and corporate law. The LLM is practice-oriented and develops skills needed to succeed in an international career path and at all workplaces requiring cross-cultural understanding, flexibility, and contemporary practical legal knowledge.
Previous qualification: university degree (MA, MSC), primarily a law degree, but a degree certifying another university level qualification corresponding to the research topic is also acceptable on the basis of individual examination.
