Target group

The degree course LLM Legal Tech is a continuing education degree course. Therefore, only applicants who have at least one year of suitable professional experience at the time of application will be admitted. This can be, for example, a legal role as a lawyer or as an employee in a company or government authority. Work involving the digitalisation of law would be preferable, but this is not absolutely necessary.

Annotation

The LLB Digital Law is aimed at students with an interest in law and technology. The degree course is a very good alternative to the classical law degree, as it imparts knowledge of civil and public law, but does not lead to the state examination. Graduates who have successfully completed both the LLB Digital Law and the state examination programme have excellent career prospects. Such a double degree is possible. Previous knowledge of computer science is an advantage, but is not required. The aim is not to turn students into computer scientists – it is to improve their ability to engage in dialogue when graduates later need to collaborate across disciplines and apply technical knowledge in legal processes.
