Main content
The exchange programme Chinese Law Studies with Clinical Placement in China was established in 2016, and had its startup in the spring semester 2017. Due to travel and entry restrictions, it was on hold during the pandemic, but has again been offered since autumn 2023. The students who participate combine studies in Beijing or Shanghai with an internship at a Norwegian or Chinese company. The faculty is the first legal institution in Norway to offer such a programme.
In China the students will take law courses equivalent to 20 ECTS credits at one of the Faculty of Law in Bergen's partner law schools in Shanghai or Beijing.
The internship will have a duration of five weeks (25 days), and gives ten ECTS credits. This provides the students with valuable work experience in an international environment, and the students will experience how the law works in practice.
