Ugandan law graduates are eligible because the programme is specifically intended for applicants who completed their legal education outside Germany. Applicants normally need a law degree or equivalent qualification obtained outside Germany with a standard duration of at least eight semesters or 240 ECTS and an overall grade equivalent to at least 2.5 under the German grading conversion. Applicants are also assessed through an aptitude procedure based on a proposed study and research project. For the English-language pathway, applicants who did not obtain their university entrance qualification at an English-language institution must demonstrate English at C1 level. Applicants whose prior education was not at a German-language institution must also demonstrate basic German through at least 120 teaching hours or A1 CEFR, with the university permitting this German evidence to be completed within the specified enrolment conditions.
The German and Comparative Law LL.M. is a one-year research-oriented programme designed for international lawyers who want advanced knowledge of German and European law and comparative legal methodology. Students develop an individual research profile, undertake comparative-law coursework and complete an independent master\'s thesis.
Benefits
The programme charges no tuition fees and students can attend free German-language courses alongside their studies. It offers a one-year, 60-ECTS LL.M., close academic supervision, comparative-law research training, access to courses in German and European law and preparation for doctoral study or international legal and policy careers. Students remain responsible for the mandatory university semester contribution and for accommodation, living costs, travel, insurance and visa expenses.
Requirements
Applicants must provide a law degree or equivalent foreign qualification meeting the academic and grade requirements. If the final degree certificate is not yet available, the university may accept a current certified academic record showing at least 210 ECTS and the provisional overall grade. Applicants must submit a project outline of no more than 5,000 characters including spaces describing the planned structure of their master\'s study, intended thematic focus of the master\'s thesis, feasibility at the University of Regensburg and connection to their previous and planned academic or professional development. Required materials also include relevant academic certificates and transcripts, secondary-school qualification, language evidence, passport copy, certified translations where required and other relevant certificates. Applicants from China, India and Vietnam require an APS certificate.
How to apply
Follow the Faculty of Law\'s official application instructions and prepare the required documents in German or English. The faculty\'s current procedure requires the application documents to be combined into one PDF and submitted to the programme coordinator by email. The university has not yet published exact application dates for the next winter intake; the previously published 2026/27 deadline has passed.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
