How is political community organised?

Strictly speaking, everything in the law degree programme revolves around this question. And that's why we dare to say that law is the subject that ...

... illuminates an incredible number of aspects of human life
... teaches critical and methodical thinking
... ensures an outstanding general education
... and is also fun. Most of the time.

And yes, of course you can become a lawyer or a judge. Or an environmentalist, sports manager, film producer; but also a children's book author, a news anchor or almost anything that requires bright minds.

About the study programme

What really matters in a degree programme

To be honest: a degree programme is only as good as the teachers and lecturers are. That is why we at REWI University of Graz place the highest value on personalities who have an international background, who possess a broad spectrum of teaching methods and who are very close to practical application. Only this way can we make sure that we fully live up to our university's motto: "We work for tomorrow".

Further studies

Doctoral Programme of Law

The diploma programme in law is an excellent foundation for a variety of different fields of study. Those who wish to further deepen their own legal research interests and perfect their methodological knowledge may, of course, also opt for the doctoral programme in law. There, one works independently on novel academic questions and thus contributes to the expansion and innovation of the field.

Career prospects

Why law graduates are welcome everywhere

The core legal professions such as lawyer, judge and notary public are well known. But there is a reason why law graduates are in great demand in a multitude of settings and in the most diverse companies and institutions: Their thinking has depth, their performance is "academically tested" and their interests are so broad that all industries are open to them. That’s our promise to you.

Admission process

The law degree programme at University of Graz enjoys a high reputation and, thus, is in great demand. In order to be able to ensure this high standard, we have decided to restrict enrolment. But don't worry: for bright minds with a fair amount of common sense, this first check should be nothing but a routine matter.

The admission process takes place only once a year, for enrolment in the winter and summer semesters of the relevant academic year.
