This is a unique European program offering students the chance to study two legal systems in two languages simultaneously. Upon completion, you will receive three diplomas: Master's (Magister), LL.B., and LL.M., providing a significant advantage in the legal job market. Classes are taught in both Polish and German by Polish and German lecturers. Polish law courses are held in Polish at Collegium Polonicum in Słubice, while German law courses are taught in German at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). Both cities are connected by a bridge over the Oder River, and the institutions are a short walk apart. Successful participation requires a solid foundation in German. The European University Viadrina offers a preparatory language program to support students. If your German proficiency is at the B2/C1 level, you can enroll in a one-month 'Viadrina Law Track' course before commencing your studies.
The program integrates the study of Polish and German legal systems, preparing students for diverse legal careers.
Graduates of this program are well-prepared for a variety of legal careers in both Poland and Germany, as well as in international settings.
Candidates applying for admission to this program who obtained their educational credentials outside the EU, EFTA, or OECD countries, and who do not hold an International Baccalaureate (IB), European Baccalaureate (EB), or a document recognized under an international agreement on education recognition, may be required to take an entrance examination.
