Rechtswissenschaft (Law)

As a rule, students of law study the field full time for ten semesters without a minor field. The first part of a two-phase course of study leading to qualification for entry in the legal professions ends with the First Legal Examination. This examination serves to determine whether the student has the aptitude to begin the practical phase of his or her training and includes an examination conducted by the state on required subjects (State Examination) and an examination conducted by the university on an area of specialization (University Examination). The first exam is prepared and conducted by the State Law Examination Office, the second by the university. The course of study includes training in the three main areas civil law, criminal law, and public law as well as in an area of specialization. The foundations of law and international law also receive consideration. Courses in the required areas include the necessary knowledge for the State Examination, while those in the area of specialization serve to build upon this knowledge and prepare the student for the University Examination.

Disclaimer
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.

The tables with the results of the last selection processes allow you to see the assigned grade/number of points in the selection process which would have sufficed and what the waiting period would have been to secure admission. The assigned grade/number of points is based by subject on the average grade or weighted grades achieved in the German higher education entrance qualification, on test results and/or outcome of the selection interview, and also on professional or practical experience in the respective subject.

The results of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd succession procedure can be found in the detailed results list

2025/2026: Selection score: 2.7; Waiting period (in half-years): 1

2024/2025: Selection score: 2.5; Waiting period (in half-years): 1

Lottery procedures are conducted in subjects with restricted admission where places are still available. Should places still be available after the final waiting list procedure, these are allocated in a lottery procedure. Application for participation in the lottery procedure must be made online and separately for each degree programme to which admission is sought. The application period for the winter semester is from 1 September to 30 September and for the summer semester from 1 March to 31 March. Applications received earlier or later than stipulated will not be considered.

The online application portal for the lottery procedure is only open during the application period.
