Academic content
Liberal Arts and Sciences is a specific approach to Bachelor level education and an alternative to disciplinary study. Combining academic breadth and depth with student choice, LAS encourages intellectual discovery and personal development in an international learning community.
LAS offers interdisciplinary training that allows for individual emphases:
The Core (56 ECTS) encompasses basic and advanced academic skills, reflections on knowledge and science, and a curriculum on Responsibility and Leadership.
In the Electives (64 ECTS), students can choose from a variety of options and courses as well as undertake study projects of their own.
The Major (102 ECTS + 16 ECTS Multidisciplinarity) constitutes the students’ training in a specific academic field. LAS offers four Majors: (1) Environmental and Sustainability Sciences, (2) Life Sciences, (3) Governance, (4) Culture and History.

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.

Results of the last selection processes
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.
Preselection: assigned note/number of points = average grade of the Abitur in combination with the essay
Selection: assigned note/number of points = average grade of the Abitur in combination with the interview
