Description of studies

The School of German Law addresses its offer to those students and graduates, who are interested in German law, especially business law, and the German legal language.

The primary goal of the School is to provide students with practical knowledge that will be a particular asset on the job market, and that will help them to participate professionally in serving Polish and German entrepreneurs who maintain commercial relations with each other and who conduct business in Poland and Germany.

Because German law very often serves as a model for legislators of other countries, the knowledge gained in the course will certainly also be used by those interested in legal comparatism.

Through joint ventures with German partners, the School will contribute to the development of Polish-German legal cooperation.

The School of German Law is organized by the Faculty of Law and Administration of Lazarski University.

Lessons will be conducted in German and will cover subjects of crucial importance from the point of view of business relations between entrepreneurs from Poland and Germany.

German lecturers - attorneys practicing law in law firms will present examples from their own practice and from the case law of German courts during the classes.

Graduates will receivea certificate of graduation from Lazarski University's School of German Law.
