University of Hamburg Hamburg
Insurance Law (Versicherungsrecht) is a Master of Laws at Universität Hamburg that you can take while working, focused on private insurance law with a special emphasis on practical advice. Besides general insurance contract law it covers personal, property and liability insurance, and, as Hamburg is a port city, maritime insurance and international insurance law, especially English law, play a big role. You complete twelve modules over three semesters plus a Master's thesis. Seminars run as monthly block courses, usually Thursday to Saturday, and practitioners add to every module. Teaching is in German and English and starts in winter. It teaches the special knowledge needed for the German title of attorney for insurance law.
