Studying at the University of Vienna
Jakob Lindner

Business Law (master's programme)

What role does the law play for businesses and economic activity? On the master's programme in Business Law, jointly offered by the University of Vienna and the University of Klagenfurt, you will deepen your legal knowledge with a particular focus on economically relevant legal issues. The programme combines legal methodologies with practical issues and specifically prepares you for legal roles at the interface between law and business. You will acquire the competences required for traditional legal professions and apply them in a practical manner using legal methodologies.

What is it about?

The Business Law master's programme combines a sound legal education with a specific focus on economic contexts. You will explore areas of law that are particularly relevant to businesses and economic activity, and learn to assess legal issues from different perspectives.

Thanks to the wide range of optional modules, you can set your own priorities and tailor your study programme to suit your individual needs. In doing so, you will deepen your legal knowledge in areas of business law or broaden it to include economic perspectives. This will enable you to develop the ability to analyse complex legal challenges within an economic context and devise well-founded solutions.
