- How can rights and claims be enforced in international business transactions?

Consistently practical
Our "Business Law" programme differs from most law degree courses at universities in that it focuses on business law and is consistently practice-oriented as opposed to dealing with theoretical problems in mass lectures. On this course, you will only have lecturers who have spent years in legal and business practice and have actively helped to shape it, thus preparing you for a later practical career in interesting and future-oriented fields of work in companies.
As an important interface between law and business, after completing your studies you will be able to work successfully in a wide range of business areas, such as marketing and sales, HR management or management consultancy.
Learning environment and values
In small groups of 30 students, you will enjoy individual and personal contact with both teachers and students. Mutual respect and openness are important to us. Our lecturers are committed to first-class teaching and attach particular importance to active and critical exchange with students. Numerous student initiatives offer the opportunity to try things out and make contacts. The HFU Business School offers a very international learning environment with students from every continent.
