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 nearly all lectures offered from the Faculty of Law but not those offered for the special Master programmes. As the normal Law programme is not divided in Bachelor and Master, UG students can take advanced courses there.
