Law Faculty of the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf

Since its founding in 1992, the Law Faculty of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf has ranked as one of the top teaching and research institutions in the country, according to the Zeit/CHE rankings. The business-law oriented faculty networks extensively with the numerous courts, businesses, administrative agencies, and law firms in an area with the highest concentration of lawyers in Germany. This leads to an outstanding teacher-student ratio, the ability to teach advanced topics in business law, and a close relationship to practice.

The modern faculty buildings are located on the campus of the Heinrich Heine University and are easy to reach by public transportation.
