Stage II 2: The third year of the programme is spent studying at a university in Germany (currently University of Bayreuth or the Free University Berlin). Students study further core branches of German civil and public law as part of a compulsory curriculum, which builds upon the introduction they have received at Birmingham. Students also choose a variety of optional subjects. Students successfully complete the year abroad by attending and successfully completing that academic programme in accordance with the relevant regulations of the University concerned. On successful completion of this stage, students awarded a special graded certificate by the German University, and may progress to the final year of the LLB Law with German Law degree programme. A student who fails the assessment by the German university shall normally cease to be eligible for the award for the award of the LLB Law with German Law. Such a student may progress to stage III of the standard LLB degree and is eligible for the award of the LLB. If a student’s failure in the assessment by the German university is mitigated by exceptional circumstances the student may be permitted to progress to the final year of the LLB Law with German Law programme and remain eligible for the award of the LLB Law with German Law.
