Ugandan applicants are eligible because the programme is open to students worldwide and is primarily intended for international students. Applicants normally need one or more relevant university degrees representing at least eight semesters and 240 ECTS or an equivalent qualification from a recognized research university. Applicants whose degree is not specifically in law must normally have earned at least 120 of the required 240 ECTS in law. Applicants with a relevant 180-ECTS degree may be considered if they can demonstrate an additional 60 ECTS of suitable preparatory study or equivalent recognised credits. English proficiency at C1 level is required.

Comparative and Global Law is a two-semester English-taught LL.M. at the University of Münster focusing on comparative law, international law, legal history and advanced legal research. Students combine foundation courses, electives and research modules and complete an independent LL.M. research paper.

Benefits
The programme charges no tuition fees. Students pay the standard University of Münster semester contribution; the university lists EUR 369.50 for winter semester 2026/27, including student services and the semester transport ticket. The programme provides two semesters of English-taught study in comparative and global law, access to the Faculty of Law\'s research facilities and specialised law libraries and advanced preparation for international legal work or further research. The University does not provide a dedicated scholarship for this LL.M., so living, accommodation, travel, insurance and visa expenses are not covered.

Requirements
Applicants must provide proof of the qualifying degree or professional qualification and relevant transcripts, proof of C1 English proficiency, a curriculum vitae and any additional documents required to demonstrate the programme\'s selection criteria. English proficiency may be demonstrated through an English-taught degree or accepted tests including TOEFL iBT with at least 95 overall and minimum scores of 25 in speaking and 24 in writing, IELTS with at least 7 or Cambridge CAE with at least 180. One academic recommendation from a professor, assistant professor or equivalent academic staff member is also required and must be submitted directly by the referee to the programme with the applicant\'s application number.

How to apply
Register in the University of Münster online application portal, complete the Comparative and Global Law LL.M. application and upload the required academic records, English-language evidence, curriculum vitae and selection documents. After receiving the application number, provide it to the academic referee, who must send the recommendation directly to the programme.
