The Double degree program for the students of Law Institute
The Double Degree system for the master’s program was started in the Law Institute at Siberian Federal University. The corresponding agreement has been signed by the Chancellor of Siberian Federal University and President of Passau University (Germany). The Director of LI SFU, Irina Shishko, told us that, due to the combining of curriculums, it is now possible, "for the legal scholar to receive a unique opportunity: an analogue that is neither found in Russia nor in Germany. We have been achieving this for three years. Now, students are enrolling in our Magistracy and studying all disciplines which are included in the curriculum of Passau University at the same time. They will have earned degree certificate of both SFU and Passau University by the end of the 2 years. One of the primary conditions for participation is the knowledge of the German language at a C1 level, which provides a professional level of proficiency. This year, two Russian and two German undergraduates are participating in this program. “Nowadays, a lawyer must be ready to work in many different places in the world. He cannot know only the law of his own country, because the business footprint is very extensive”, said Yegor Eckert, a Master's Degree candidate from Passau University. “Traditionally, Russia and Germany have been related through strong economic ties. I think it will help me get a job in a Russian-German company in the future”. One of the coordinators of the program, Passau University Professor Hans-Georg Dederer, told us that a lot of German students work in Russia willingly, and that is why the beginning of a unique program is important for both sides." There are many representatives working in many different German companies which are located in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But this does not mean that everything is limited by this fact. Professionals in this sphere will be in demand in Germany, where there are many Russian firms. They will be truly universal in their field." |
