Students are not admitted to any specific legal concentration, however during their studies, they select among the mandatory-elective courses according to their individual interests. One elective concentration offered is Law of International Trade focusing primarily on the private law elements of International and European Business Law. Another elective concentration is Law of International Organizations dealing with public law elements of International and European Law.

Mandatory-elective subjects are divided into several groups of pairs and student is obliged to choose a certain amount of credits from the given pair/group of subjects, according to his specialization - e.g. student has to choose one subject from the pair European Company Law and International Relations; one subject from History of Private Law and History of Public Law and so on.

Students have the opportunity to choose also an elective course / courses according to the current offer of courses taught in English (to complete the condition of having in total at least 120 ECTS), with the condition that they didn´t attend this subject / these subjects during their previous studies. That means, that students can´t choose a subject which is classified as a mandatory and mandatory-elective subject in this study structure.
