The Hanse Law School provides a course of studies in jurisprudence, which is oriented towards the requirements of the economy, and the constantly changing requirements of European law. The faculty has had to adapt itself to globalization and the expansion of Europe.
The Hanse Law School is a project of a number of universities. The aim—after four or five years of study—is not only to have acquired knowledge of the breadth of German law, but also to have acquired understanding of Dutch and English law, as well as some ancillary knowledge of economics. Periods of study can be undertaken at the Dutch partner university in Groningen, and at various institutions in England and other countries.
