As a selective course the student is obliged to choose one course from these: Commercial Law, International Economic Law, Civil Law.

One part of the final state examination is also the defence of the Bachelor's thesis.

It is possible to assume that various study programmes focusing on economy shall be accesible in form and in fact.

Nevertheless, it needs to be stressed to applicants that the study has no access to undivided five-year Master's degree programme, the programme Law and Legal Science at the Faculty of Law at Masaryk University, even a transfer or a follow-up study are not possible. The study programmes Law and Legal Science at other Czech Faculties of Law are similarly limitative.
