Application Deadline: March 31, 2011

We work on a rolling admission basis and appreciate early applications. We offer admission on a space-available basis and therefore encourage applicants to apply early.

 

 


An application to the MLB Program consists of the following:

  • An application form, available here, that has been completed, signed and dated.
  • A passport-size photograph, preferably by email in jpg-format.
  • A Curriculum Vitae (CV).
  • A personal statement, providing information about your areas of special interest, your career goals, previous overseas experience, and why you wish to participate in the MLB Program.
  • A writing sample, preferably business or legally-related, consisting of at least five pages. Examples include a research paper, thesis, research memorandum, office memorandum or other documents that provide us with an example of your English-language writing skills.
  • Official transcripts from all degree-granting academic institutions that you have attended. All transcripts must include an English translation and an explanation of the grading system used. Please also include an official statement of class rank. If no official class rank is available, please provide us with an estimate of your rank and a description of how you calculated it.
  • If English is not your native language nor the primary language of instruction for your first degree, you must provide us with an official report of results either from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), IELTS or CPE. Bucerius Law School's institution code for the TOEFL is 7181. Bucerius Law School offers its applicants to take the Institutional TOEFL on campus. If you are interested in this option and would like to know the test dates, please contact us. Minimum TOEFL requirements are 250 points (computer-based test), 600 points (paper-based test) or 100 points (internet based test). Minimum requirements for the IELTS are 7.0 and for the CPE grades A,B, or C.  
  • If available, a GMAT test score.
  • Two or three letters of recommendation from faculty members, lawyers, businesspeople, judges, or others who can assess your skills and character. These letters, on the form available here, should be attached to your application.

Please do not staple, clasp, tape or in any other way bound together the documents to be submitted.

Please do not send us any original transcripts as we will not be able to return them to you.

Please send your application by email to maite.baeurle(at)law-school.de or to the address mentioned below. Letters of recommendation may be sent by email as well, but directly from the recommenders to the MLB Program. If they are sent by mail or by courier, they must be in sealed envelopes.

Fabian Lieschke

FABIAN LIESCHKE, GERMANY: "Beside the academic excellence Bucerius and WHU offer, it was the personal level of addressing the needs of prospective students that convinced me to participate in this Program. After my first months in the Program, my already high expectations with regard to the level of teaching, internationality and the genuinely friendly atmosphere among students and staff had been exceeded."


Lauren Licuanan

LAUREN LICUANAN, AUSTRALIA, COMMERZBANK AG: "When I began the MLB Program with my law degree background, I already had a couple of years of Australian finance experience and was looking for further career development. With the MLB Program's top-notch faculty, intellectual rigour, global perspective, and unique law and business combination, the Program equipped me with the knowledge and skills to compete confidently in the business world. The cohort model of learning brings people together from diverse educational, professional and cultural backgrounds making for a multi-faceted shared learning experience and a network which will last long after the MLB is completed."


Alexandre Fialdini

ALEXANDRE FIALDINI, BRAZIL, TEMPO PARTICIPACOES: "One year after graduation, I do not have any doubt that the MLB enhanced and enlarged my job opportunities. A couple of months after graduation I was offered to manage the legal department of an important Brazilian listed company. I am pretty sure that the experience of law and business gained with the MLB has provided me with the ability to face this challenging opportunity."
