Annotation

Strengthening Democracy: The Law and Politics / Politics and Law (LL.B. / B.A.) degree programme combines legal and political sciences. It teaches the legal and political structures of modern states and societies, as well as of international organisations such as the European Union. Depending on the focus chosen – law or politics – students receive the B.A. or LL.B. academic degree. Internships and the learning of foreign languages offer the opportunity to gain intercultural experience and to establish a personal and professional network. A vibrant international and multilingual culture is an integral part of the cross-border campus life at the European University Viadrina in the German-Polish twin city of Frankfurt (Oder)-Słubice.
