Studying law the Bayreuth way.

Why law in Bayreuth?

We are one of the younger German universities - both institutionally and in terms of personnel. In the almost 30 years of its existence, our faculty has earned an excellent reputation and is today one of the best law faculties in Germany. Our outstanding speciality is tight integration with economics, which is expressed in the fact that we form a joint faculty.

The programme in law offers a thorough education in the three main areas of German law: criminal law, civil law, and public law.

Furthermore, in addition to the high-quality legal education confirmed by numerous top rankings, the law degree programme at the University of Bayreuth offers additional qualifications, some of which are unique in university legal education.
