NYU School of Law

Bucerius Law School (Hamburg, Germany)

Up to two NYU students may study at the International and Comparative Business Law Program at Bucerius in Hamburg, Germany each fall semester. Courses in this program are particularly designed for non-German students and are offered in English. However, students may select courses from the regular German curriculum if their proficiency in the German language allows. German language courses are also offered during the first four weeks of the semester.

Established in 2000, Bucerius Law School is the first private law school in Germany, and one of its hallmarks is its international focus. Enrollment in the Law School is limited to only 100 students per year, and most classes are small in size.

Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, is a port city and Germany's second largest city. Its placement off the coast of the North Sea and at the intersection of several rivers has earned it the name of "the Venice of the North." Approximately 65,000 students enroll each year at Hamburg's various universities and colleges. Bucerius Law School is centrally located and is a short walk or bus ride to the University quarter, downtown Hamburg, and the harbor.

The program at Bucerius is divided into two sessions, from early September to mid-October, and from late October to early December. During the week between the two sessions, exchange students will go as a group on a week-long study trip to culturally, historically, and politically significant sites in Berlin and Potsdam.
