Finance (LLM Finance)

The Institute for Law and Finance at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main offers a unique, one-year graduate programme leading to a Master of Laws in Finance. The programme, conducted entirely in English, is suitable for graduates with a good degree in law, business or economics who have an interest in combining theoretical knowledge with practical training in law and international finance. It overcomes the traditional separation of law and business/economics by teaching aspects of both and focusing on their intersection and interplay. The faculty consists of prominent academics and experienced practitioners. The programme includes a two-month internship with public and private institutions such as leading law firms, banks, accounting and consulting firms, the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Located in Frankfurt, the major financial centre of Europe, it provides an ideal location with small cohort sizes and extra-curricular activities.
