Legal Education in English at the Lucerne School of Law
The Lucerne School of Law has been offering select courses in English during the past several semesters. Since the Spring Semester 2007, we have offered a structured curriculum in English aimed at two goals: (a) to enable incoming students whose native language is not German to undertake a full course of studies in English in any given semesters, and to have a choice between electives, and (b) to enable students who already pursue a law degree (in particular, a Masters) at Lucerne to embark on a "semester abroad" at home, probably before spending a semester at a partner university.
This section contains information about the English language course offerings and links to further information.
