Employability rate
The employability rate for Business Law and related law-in-business graduates in Germany depends on individual qualifications and the employer sector, and official single-number rates are not published on the university program page.
Together, this means you should treat career outcomes as strongly demand-driven but ultimately dependent on internships, language readiness, and relevant professional experience.

📝 How to Apply
Prepare eligibility and documentation for an international application
Check that you meet the bachelor-level higher education entrance qualification requirements for applicants with foreign education. If your qualification does not directly meet German requirements, review the university guidance on alternative access routes. Collect your key documents early so you can upload them during the application portal step.
Submit the online application and upload your documents
Apply using the university’s official online application form. After submission, you receive access details for an upload area where you submit your certificates and other application-relevant documents. For international applicants, make sure your academic documents are provided in the form requested by the university and that required language proof is ready for upload if applicable.
Attend the admission review (personal conversation if required)
After the university receives your application, the process includes an admission review for bachelor full-time applicants via a personal conversation. The university uses the conversation to understand your interests and study motivation. You will receive feedback afterward on whether you are admitted.
Complete enrollment and submit any postal certified copies if requested
If you are admitted, the university sends you the enrollment agreement (Studienvertrag). Return the signed agreement promptly to secure your place. The university also shows in the upload area which documents must be submitted as official certified copies by post and requests that you meet the stated deadlines for these items.
