The academic degree “Master of Laws” (LL.M.) is conferred on all graduates in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Austrian University Studies Act. This is conditional on presentation of complete academic records for all program courses, as well as a positive assessment of the Master’s thesis.

Each course entails an assessment of academic performance on the basis of criteria laid down by the lecturers. This assessment consists of either a written or an oral exam on the course contents, and/or evaluation of performance in lectures, such as presentation of case studies or short presentations.

Students who can provide evidence of a sufficient and comparable level of knowledge in a particular field, either resulting from university education and/or comparable education, may apply for accreditation of courses by the head of academic management.
