BA Civil Law (Minor) at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

Those situations are annoying, but you can exercise your rights. Some of the key issues in civil law revolve around claims arising from contracts (e. g. tenancy agreements or contracts of sale) and claims for damages or maintenance. Many consumers only become aware of the potential legal difficulties when complications arise.

What you will study

A multi-subject bachelor’s programme consists of a major subject worth 120 ECTS credits (1 ECTS credit = 30 hours for attendance, preparation and follow-up work, private study, assessed coursework and examinations) and a minor subject worth 60 ECTS credits. This degree programme focuses on just one area of law, but it does include some modules from other areas of law to broaden your basic legal knowledge.

Career pathways

Graduates in conversation. By practising legal modes of thinking, familiarizing yourself with the concepts and content of the discipline of law, and learning how to solve legal cases by applying law to problem scenarios, you will broaden your range of career paths. However, graduating in the minor subject will not qualify you to work in purely legal fields.
