Special feature for lawyer trainees

With our innovative study concept, you can pursue an LL.M. in Competition & Regulation parallel to your traineeship.

Five months prior to the exams for the second state examination in law, legal trainees can interrupt their studies at Leuphana and continue them following the examination.

Please bear in mind that this programme does not qualify you for a student visa as there are no classroom session times.

Applications for the Competition and Regulation LL.M. can be submitted online at any time. The deadlines are 10 December for programmes commencing in the following April and 31 May for programmes commencing in October. Our online application system allows you to complete your application simply and easily online and upload any accompanying documents. You can also save your draft application for completion later. Once the deadline has passed, all documents are reviewed and the admissions process starts.

With effect from the 2020 summer semester, the format of the Competition & Regulation LL.M. is being changed to online study: the entire programme will be online. Many of the LL.M. classes are offered as Live-Online-Seminars and you can study from your laptop at home. This makes it even easier to combine study with your professional commitments and ensure the right balance with your private life.

Unlike for standard full-time or part-time Masters programmes taken at university, fees are payable for continuing education programmes such as the Competition and Regulation Masters. This is because the entire course has to be funded from fees as the state does not subsidise such programmes.

The fees for the professional Competition and Regulation Masters are 9700 euros. A semester contribution, currently around 210 euros, is also charged each semester. Instalment payments possible.

A range of funding options are available for professional programmes. Which ones are open to you will depend on your individual circumstances. We have put together a list of funding options for you on our website. You can also use our financial advisory service.
