Extra requirements
You would need to provide a proof of your German proficiency: an equivalent to a CEFR level B2 at the moment of application and C1 at the moment of departure.
If you intend on taking also courses in English, you would need to provide in addition a proof of your English proficiency. Students from the English taught LLB and LLM programme are exempt from this requirement.
Important information
In Germany there is no possibility to obtain only a Bachelor degree in law. The Law studies in Germany last 5 years and finish with passing a so called " First State Exam" , an equivalent to a Master degree. Therefore, the courses available to the exchange students are an equivalent of both Bachelor and Master level.
Exchange students can choose from the entire list of modules and courses offered on the general course catalogue regardless the level.
More information on study and placement grants for law students can be found at the website www.rug.nl/law/lep.
An Erasmus+ grant covers part of the travel and accommodation expenses involved in studying abroad. At the moment the Erasmus+ grant has been set at € 330 - € 390 per calendar month, depending on the country of your host university. This may change per academic year.
Your application for an exchange period at one of the Faculty' s partner universities also counts as your application for a grant. When you receive notification of a place for study abroad, you will also learn more about the Erasmus grant.
