1 Page1 Professional Masters Program in Law and Economics (PMLE)

2 Page2 Program Overview The Professional Masters in Law and Economics (PMLE) is a joint program between Faculty of Economics and Political Science (FEPS) at Cairo University and Institute of Law and Economics (ILE) at Hamburg University. It offers students a double degree; one in Law granted by ILE (Masters of Law, LL.M.) and the second in Economics granted by the Department of Economics in FEPS (Professional Masters of Economics). It provides students with the opportunity to be engaged with top academics at both faculties. Program Objectives The program provides students with a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of law and economics and an advanced knowledge on the economic effects of divergent laws. It enables participants to apply the tools of economics to legal problems and this intellectual orientation pervades the curriculum. The program prepares the degree holders for a career in public organizations or multinational law firms.

3 Page3 Intended Learning Outcomes After Completing the Program, participants should be able to: Convey insights from Economic Analysis of Law (EAL) in a clear way to both specialized and non-specialized audience. Apply EAL in legal cases and to formulate policy opinions taking into account social responsibilities and possible economic impacts of different laws. Acquire the capabilities for pursuing additional studies autonomously. This includes, most notably, interdisciplinary research in legal and/or economic fields. Who can apply? The minimum requirement for admission is a bachelor degree in law or economics. Applicants with a degree in Commerce, business administration, or other relevant social sciences may also apply under the condition that the completed study program includes a substantial number of courses in law and/or economics.
