Academic content
Sinology is a philosophical-historical field that focuses on Chinese culture and its development in its intellectual, artistic, and material manifestations. The field is based on the study of primary written and material sources and thus cannot be studied without sufficient skills in the Chinese language and its various stages of development. The individual areas of Chinese culture the field investigates through the study of sources include the language itself as well as history, literature, philosophy, religion, law, economy, society, geography, and ethnology. All of these areas of Sinology are held together by the study of the Chinese language and the acquisition of basic skills in history, literature, and philosophy. Students of the minor field program receive a grounding in the modern and classical Chinese language and several subdisciplines of Sinology. They are also expected to gain fundamental knowledge of Chinese culture, particularly in the areas of history, literature, and philosophy.

Satzung über ergänzende Regelungen zum Zulassungs- und Prüfungsrecht
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
