About law master’s in Germany
Germany's English-taught law master's are almost entirely LLM programmes designed for international lawyers or German bachelor's holders wanting international specialisation. Strong programmes at Humboldt Berlin, Heidelberg, Munich (LMU), Frankfurt, Cologne, Bucerius Law School (Hamburg), and Berlin's Hertie School. Focus areas: European + international law, business + tax law, human rights, tech + IP law. Public universities charge €150–400/sem; private schools like Bucerius and Hertie €15,000–€30,000/yr. Admission expects a law bachelor's (or JD equivalent) and IELTS 6.5–7.0. Practising in Germany requires the Staatsexamen — the LLM does NOT grant German bar admission.
