2 Overview of the Program In the international economy, there is a steadily- growing demand for attorneys and managers who have a command of both legal and economic issues. Despite this demand, few educational institutions offer programs of study that analyze the legal and economic fields in a targeted and integrated manner. In light of this demand, Bucerius Law School and WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management jointly offer the one-year, English-language Master of Law and Business Joachim Herz Program ( MLB Program ), supported by the Joachim Herz Stiftung. The MLB is truly a joint degree, combining numerous aspects of International Business Law with issues of International Management. Because course participants are trained systematically in both the legal and economic fields, they obtain a unique ability to analyze the ever-increasing number of international issues that involve both legal and economic elements. Bucerius Law School and WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management are ideal partners for such an innovative, international and practiceoriented program. They are recognized as leading institutions in Germany and enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. Both schools are accredited.

It manages to offer global connectivity, whilst challenging students on many different levels. The MLB Program gave me the skills and knowledge to enable me to walk into my dream job and I am confident that it will continue to pave the way to top future employment positions for many MLB students to come. Jan Gackenholz, Germany, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants: Coming from a finance background, I found the law courses particularly useful: we shared the experiences gathered in our former lives, be it work or study, and hearing the lawyers views broadened my horizon beyond what I had learned before. Undoubtedly, this will be useful in my post-mlb employment. Photo: C. Spahrbier
