Two young and dynamic faculties. Endless opportunities.

Legal and Economic Studies Programme

The Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics (FBE) of Heinrich Heine University invite students to spend a semester or year in Düsseldorf studying economics and law in English. 

The Legal and Economic Studies Programme allows students to create an individualised study abroad experience from the course offerings of both faculties, including classes specifically tailored to our international guests. 

Students will benefit from comparatively small class sizes and opportunities for practical learning both in the classroom and beyond thanks to Düsseldorf’s many international companies and law firms. This new interdisciplinary programme starts in autumn 2021.

Zu sehen sind Bücher und andere Lernmaterialien, sowie die Hand einer Person, die sich etwas mit einem Kugelschreiber auf ein Blatt Papier notiert. Neben ihr steht eine Tasse Kaffee.

Faculty of Law
The Faculty of Law’s focus is on research and teaching in the areas of business law and international law. The Faculty's well-deserved academic reputation, modern library and emphasis on bringing legal practice into the classroom make it one of the most popular places to study law in Germany.
 

Zu sehen sind viele Studierende, die im Hörsaal vor ihrem Laptop sitzen, aufmerksam zuhören und sich zu der Vorlesung Notizen machen. Sie sitzen nebeneinander in Reihen, die gestaffelt angeordnet sind, sodass jede*r die Dozierenden sehen kann.

Faculty of Business Administration
and Economics
