Overview

About the programme

The Law Graduate School at the University of Bonn provides a doctorate workshop for legal doctorate students every winter semester. The doctorate workshop serves as a platform for discussion, support and exchange of experience regarding overall challenges, problems and techniques.

Every summer semester there will be a lecture series aiming to impart knowledge to the doctorate students regarding the importance and methods of basic subjects as part of an otherwise non-basics-related dissertation and to strengthen those basics' status.

Programme Structure

The legal doctorate is granted based on:

an academic paper, also called dissertation, and
an oral exam held after handing in the dissertation to defend the thesis made in the paper (the disputation).
