I should have gone and stayed there two years instead of one. I had the chance to go there my fourth and fifth year of my law degree and I went there only for the fifth year.

It is a very good university to study law -the best of Germany-, you can take specialised courses which are really affordable at the Studentenwerk and the relationship between students and teachers is really good.

“Good University Environment, Economics Programme to improve”

Giulio S

Luxembourg, Graduate
Economics, 2020

Overall

The Freiburg University environment is stimulating and helpful. It gives the chance to meet many international students, and access to several opportunities to adjust the focus of the studies (you can access courses from other neighboring universities, Erasmus, ecc.)
The Economics Programme is absolutely valid, although the quality of teaching has been lowering in the past years. The setup of the studies is pretty standard. However, it has a strong academic orientation and as such it does not provide a lot of support when it comes to jump into the job market

Pros

Multicultural engaging environment

Cons

Low job market orientation

Very strongly! This University can cater to whatever your needs are. If you want to study and really learn, there are plenty of resources and ways to accomplish this. If you want to slack and have fun, there are plenty of ways to accomplish this too!
