Founded in 1992, the Faculty of Law of Dusseldorf’s Heinrich-Heine-University is one of the youngest law faculties in the Federal Republic of Germany. With youthful dynamism, the Faculty has quickly developed into one of the most attractive and popular places to study in the country.

A well-deserved  academic reputation, a modern library and a strong integration with legal practice constitute the second pillar of the Faculty of Law. The  clear and distinct profile is focused on business law as well as on European and international law. 

Manifold contacts to European and other foreign countries define the young and dynamic Faculty. Many students take part in international study exchanges and the school's professors take part in foreign conferences. 

Its image is rounded out by a variety of post-graduate offerings that have been integrated into an organizational context through the founding of a “Law School”. Both LL.M.-programs (in German) and international summer schools and courses are available to the public.
