Prawo Biznesu i Ochrony Środowiska (LLB)

The study program "Business and Environmental Law" (LLB) provides students with in-depth knowledge in the field of business and environmental law as well as business administration content.

Students acquire the necessary specialist and interdisciplinary skills in the fields of law and economics to answer complex questions relating to commercial, environmental, and energy law in the context of sustainability goals.

They have a critical understanding of the most important theories and can recognize problems, develop solutions, and implement state-of-the-art solutions. The program also enables students to discuss legal issues and their solutions with experts and non-specialists and to defend solutions to problems with arguments. Self-organization and the ability to work in a team play a major role here - especially in an interdisciplinary context. This enables students to assess their abilities and to independently reflect on their capacities to organize and make decisions and to use these under supervision.

Overall, the degree program in Business and Environmental Law is therefore an attractive alternative to the "traditional" law degree program at universities.

The program is supplemented by additional qualifications - and this is what distinguishes it from “traditional” law studies at universities - such as the teaching of business management skills, which are essential for understanding business law. In addition, there is thorough foreign language training that takes account of the international nature of business life and the teaching of further key qualifications through communication training, presentations, group work, and tutorials. The foreign language training can be supplemented by the acquisition of an "International Law" certificate. Furthermore, it is possible to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner schools or to participate in (international) practice-related projects.

A high quality in teaching is a decisive element in the profile of Trier University of Applied Sciences. Modern study and teaching methods aim to ensure the graduates' high level of education. The quality of teaching is continually checked, improved, and further developed by quality ensurance measures within the framework of our quality management system. Trier University of Applied Sciences relies on innovation and practice orientation in the development of its teaching methods. Furthermore, the students' social competencies are promoted by project and team-oriented study methods. Research and development at Trier University of Applied Sciences aim at practice- and market-oriented results and address current issues in business and society.

Applied Research

Trier University of Applied Sciences is committed to high-performance and application-oriented research. Thanks to its innovative strength, it has managed to reach and consolidate its position as the university of applied sciences with the highest amount of third-party funding in Rhineland-Palatinate.

In doing so, it distinguishes itself particularly through three future-oriented research areas:

"Applied Material Flow Management" "Intelligent Technologies for Sustainable Development" and "Life Sciences: Medical and Pharmaceutical Technology, and Biotechnology"

Interdisciplinary teams develop future-oriented solutions to the social challenges created by globalization, the digitalization of life and work, climate change, and the associated demands on sustainable energy production and resource management, as well as the challenges posed by an aging society and the increased need for a healthy and secure life. Special meaning is awarded to a combination of sustainability and innovation, which form the basis of this developmental approach.

Regional Roots and International Networks

Trier University of Applied Sciences regards itself as a university with an international orientation and regional roots. We promote cooperation at all levels with partners from industry, politics, culture, and society and secure the demand for skilled workers in the region.

Cooperation agreements with many universities around the world, international study programs, and a lively exchange between students and professors lend Trier University of Applied Sciences a distinctive, international profile. In the future, we wish to further develop this international study, teaching, and research culture as well as to intensify our internationalization.
