Law

Qualify as a law graduate whose expertise is sought after in business and beyond, gaining comprehensive legal competence, robust advocacy training, and deep commercial-law insight.

What will you learn?

At BI, you receive a professional legal education with a clear focus on business law. The master’s programme builds on what you learned in your bachelor’s degree and further develops your skills in legal method, that is, how to identify, interpret and apply legal rules in a sound and systematic way.

You gain advanced breadth across public law and regulation, public international law, private law, criminal law and criminal procedure, as well as dispute resolution (the process of resolving conflicts in and outside the courts). At the same time, you develop specialised insight into business law: corporate and finance law, tax law and VAT law, and how technology influences legal practice.

You will practise analysing the facts (what actually happened), assessing the law as it stands (de lege lata) and discussing how it ought to be (de lege ferenda). You learn to argue precisely, both in writing and orally, in 黑料专区 and English, and to draft contracts, articles of association and other legal documents.

The programme trains you to work confidently with international legal sources, particularly EEA law (the EEA Agreement linking Norway to the EU’s internal market) and the ECHR (the European Convention on Human Rights, which provides a framework for protecting fundamental rights in Europe).
