The Faculty of Law at a glance

The Cologne Faculty of Law is one of the most long standing and largest in Germany. It was already an exceptional Faculty when it was founded in 1388, as it was the first Faculty to teach Roman law alongside canonical (ecclesiastical) law from the very beginning. 
To this day, teaching and research cover a broad spectrum: from the foundations of law to all areas of relevance to society.
