During the course of study, students gain knowledge in the field of Chinese Law and Comparative Law and can choose between two specifications: Chinese Studies with courses in regional studies, Chinese legal thought and legal history (MA), or Law Studies consisting of advanced law courses (LLM).
In the first semester in Göttingen, students will expand and deepen their knowledge of law and the Chinese language. While graduates of sinology focus on deepening their knowledge of law, law graduates increase their Chinese language skills.
The second and third semesters are spent in Nanjing, where Chinese law will be the main focus. Depending on their proficiency in Chinese, students also attend Chinese language courses at various levels.
The fourth semester is reserved for preparing and writing the Master's thesis in Göttingen.
During the two-semester study period in China, participants gain language skills and intercultural experience.
