Magister Juris Internationalis (MJI) - Master of International Law at Justus Liebig University Giessen

Law programme with an additional focus on international and European legal relations and comparative law. Partly identical to the Law programme leading to the First Examination but not leading to the legal preparatory service or Second State Examination, so graduates are not Volljuristen. It can be studied independently, in parallel to, or after the Law (First Examination) programme.

Final examination: written examination, Magister thesis and disputation.
