The Faculty of Law at Freie Universität Berlin is a popular and internationally renowned place to study, which is also characterised by its beautiful location in the middle of spacious parks.

The three academic institutions - Civil Law, Criminal Law and Public Law - bring together all the fundamental subject areas of legal education as well as the research profiles of the departments. The department offers a diverse programme that reflects different research approaches and areas of interest in addition to the undergraduate law degree with an integrated Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.).

Almost all areas of law today are permeated by supranational guidelines and international influences. The research profile of the department takes account of the internationalisation of national legal systems and advancing globalisation through a strong focus on cross-border legal aspects.

More than 100 collaborations with renowned legal institutions worldwide enable students and scientists to engage in international mobility and networking. For example, students can complete their entire specialisation, including examinations, at numerous partner universities abroad.

The well-stocked and, with 800,000 works, very extensive law library is used by students and lecturers of the faculty as well as numerous international lawyers for research purposes.
