By participating in the Bucerius Summer Program in International Business Law I had the opportunity to engage in a vigorous legal education from well respected law professors and outstanding lawyers from world leading law firms. I believe that these great lecturers’ legal knowledge shall affect my professional life in a very positive way.

I found the schedule well designed to meet my expectations and enjoyed the style in which all the lectures were taken. Professors tried to combine sufficient theoretical knowledge gained in the course of lectures with practical demonstrations based on model cases, role plays and case studies. Apart from extending the scope of legal knowledge and training of practical legal skills I was encouraged to participate in many extracurricular activities focused on strengthening social networking and relations between students as well as professors from different parts of the world.

I enjoyed the exposure to areas of traditional business studies that would not be available to me at my current law school. The best part of the program was getting to meet people from so many countries, learning the differences in culture and the different qualifications for becoming a lawyer around the world. I would strongly recommend this unique  program to my fellow students and other professionals. The faculty, organization and facilities at Bucerius Law School are second to none.

The Bucerius Summer Program was a good opportunity for me to get to know aspects of EU laws and legal practice in Germany. The experienced instructors and their dedication to the program really enhanced the courses.
