The two main pillars of the programme are (1) International arbitration and (2) Business law.
1. International arbitration
After successfully concluding the research and writing skills module, you will fully immerse in the world of international arbitration. During the second block of the academic year, you will be confronted not only with the fundamental aspects of arbitration law, but you will also be challenged to understand principles of international arbitration from the comparative law perspective. In the spring term, you will also be exposed to distinctive futures of investment arbitration. You will also get the chance to participate in one of the numerous international moot courts.
The courses are taught by academics and professionals active in the field of international arbitration. You can expect to explore the world of international arbitration both from the legal counsels’ and from the arbitrators’ perspective.
2. Business law
The programme also has a strong focus on the transactional facet of international business. The 10 EC International Business Law course gives a comprehensive overview of both international company law as well as international contract law. Moreover, you will have a chance to apply your knowledge and improve your legal writing skills during the course Contract Drafting. Besides, by choosing one of the electives (such as Intellectual Property Law or Law of the Ship), you will have a chance to acquire expertise in the field of your interest.
At the beginning of the programme, you receive an introduction to international arbitration. You also learn how to do independent legal research and how to report your findings through presentations and papers during a 15 EC Research and Writing Skills Course. Attendance of the meetings is mandatory. Successful completion of this Course is a precondition to being admitted to the master thesis.

The third block is composed of one 10 EC course, International Business Law. The fourth block includes one 5 EC course, Investment Arbitration, and one 5 EC elective.
