Academic Programmes and Courses at the Faculty of Law

The Faculty of Law  and centres or entities linked to the Faculty offer a number of academic programmes and courses in law.

The Faculty has not yet implemented the Bologna BA/MA model and, therefore, does not offer a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme in Austrian law. Instead, it offers a four-year diploma programme leading to the Magister der Rechtswissenschaften degree and a three-year doctoral programme leading to the Doktor der Rechtswissenschaften degree.

Besides, several other programmes and courses concluding with different degrees and qualifications are organised at or in cooperation with the Faculty. See below for a comprehensive list.
