Course description

The Hanse Law School (HSL) offers an international law program at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, the University of Bremen, and the University of Groningen (NL). This program dives deep into the content, origin, creation, and application of binding norms in social and economic relationships. Unlike traditional law studies that focus on a single country's legal system, HSL addresses the needs of a globalized society. In today's interconnected world, understanding international economic relationships is crucial. Settling disputes in courts is less significant than preventing them through well-crafted contracts. Therefore, HSL ensures that graduates can navigate various national laws and possess a solid grasp of EU law and its impact on national legislation. Additionally, students learn about international treaties and arbitration practices, which are becoming preferred alternatives to national laws in global economic dealings. The curriculum emphasizes the conditions surrounding the creation and formation of law. By studying these aspects, graduates are well-prepared to handle complex legal scenarios in a global context.
