The masters programme Business, Competition and Regulatory Law at the Freie Universität Berlin offers postgraduate study in important areas of European and international business law: antitrust law, international contract and corporate
law and in particular European telecommunication and energy law. The programme is one of the first with a primary focus on regulatory law with this combination of courses. It offers students specialist knowledge in regulatory law beyond the fundamentals and an understanding of the many correlations between competition
and business law.
Contents
The course is Master of International and European Business, Competition and Regulatory Law based on a learning concept which combines traditional "in-class" teaching on Fridays and Saturdays with electronic communication via the university's internet platform and independent study. Apart from professors of business law, specialised legal practitioners from competition and regulation authorities and law firms with a great deal of case experience will instruct the students. The course allows the students to choose whether they wish to focus on energy or telecommunication law, enabling specialisation as required by their particular profession.
The course is divided into two parts: Business Law and Principles of Economics and Competition and Regulatory Law.
In the first part students learn about the legal and economic framework of business, competition and regulatory law. They learn how to draw up and enforce contracts. The second part is dedicated to competition and regulatory law. In the module Regulatory law students choose between a course in energy law and one in telecommunication law.

Accreditation
System Accreditation In the context of its quality management system, Freie Universität Berlin has relied on the system accreditation process since early on, deliberately choosing not to engage in across-the-board accreditation of individual programs of study. Since the Conference of Ministers of Culture adopted the resolutions of the Accreditation Council dated February 28 and 29, 2008, regarding the criteria for system accreditation, the university has been making internal preparations to put system accreditation into practice.
What Is System Accreditation?
While conventional accreditation and re-accreditation processes review study programs on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they meet minimum standards, system accreditation focuses on evaluating the quality assurance system that applies to the institution as a whole. When this internal quality assurance system is accredited, the result is that all curricula that have been approved under the system are accredited for a period of six years.
In the course of system accreditation, the structures and processes that are relevant to academic and teaching activities are reviewed to determine whether they ensure that the appropriate goals for qualification are met and that the programs offered are of high quality. The European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ESG), the requirements of the Conference of Ministers of Culture, and the criteria established by the Accreditation Council apply during this process.
A successful system accreditation serves as proof that the university´s quality assurance system in the area of academics and teaching is able to ensure that the appropriate goals for qualification are met and to assure the high standards of quality applied within its programs.
