The MBL-FU is a postgraduate master program in law (LL.M.). It lasts for one academic year. Students obtain in-depth knowledge on cutting-edge questions of European and International Competition and Regulatory Law.
The program intends to give young jurists and economists from businesses, companies, law firms, and public authorities the opportunity to gain in-depth, specialist knowledge in business and competition law as well as in different regulated markets to enhance their professional skills.

The lecturers are renowned legal and economic academics as well as practitioners from all around the world – from officials of the European Commission and national authorities to attorneys at international law firms and multinational companies. Their classes cover a wide range of topics, from foundational theoretical and economic questions to all aspects of European and international competition law, to intellectual property and other crucial issues driving important sectors of today’s (digital) economy.

Students study seven modules and write a master thesis. Each module consists of in-class lectures, seminars and tutorials. Classes are held on Fridays and Saturdays and occasionally on Thursdays at the Law Department. Online study and work components complement and build upon these lectures. The language of instruction is English.
