Academic content
The degree program in Islamic Studies provides in-depth knowledge on the Islamic world and its history and culture, profound insight into the Islamic religion, cultural, historical, and political understanding of current events and processes in Islamic societies, and solid skills in two of the three languages Arabic, Farsi, or Turkish. It focuses on a geographical area that encompasses North and West Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Southern Europe and Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Indonesia. Besides conveying knowledge of diverse forms of Islamic culture in their historical depth, the program also concentrates on the intellectual, cultural, and social phenomena and problems of the present-day Islamic world. Students are required to learn two of the three languages Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish. Over and above the modern written language, students also learn how to read written sources from older stages of development of these languages in the original version and use them for independent study. In addition to providing a solid grounding in Islamic studies and the necessary philological skills for academic research, the program enables students to engage critically with selected questions of Islamic studies and conduct independent research on them.

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.
