Typical collocations
Common verbs used with 'Jurastudium' (law studies) include 'beginnen' (to begin), 'aufnehmen' (to start), 'absolvieren' (to complete), and 'abbrechen' (to drop out of). 'Ein Jurastudium erfolgreich abschließen' (to successfully complete a law degree) is also a common collocation.
