Programme

The Institute for Law and Finance at Frankfurt's Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, reflects the commitment of the University, leading private sector institutions and public organizations to meet the challenges of law in the 21st century. The ILF is a postgraduate institute offering a Master of Laws in Finance degree (LL.M. Finance). All teaching is in English. German fluency is not a requirement for admission.

Ours is one of the few programs in Europe with an international, rather than national or regional EU focus, for study of law and finance. The curriculum combines lectures, seminars, colloquia and prominent international guest lecturers. The ILF concept has been built around the notion of an effective public-private partnership, with active participation of leading international law practitioners, finance and banking specialists as well as officials of the European Central Bank, German Bundesbank and other bodies.

Prof. Dr Rudolf Steinberg
President

The one-year program is aimed at graduates with first degrees in either law or in business or economics.

Organisation

The Johann Wolfgang Goethe University was established in 1914 by a foundation created by the citizens of Frankfurt. The Departments of Law and Business and Economics are among the largest and best known in Germany. Frankfurt has earned an excellent reputation in the field of international business law.

The well-known Institute of Foreign and International Business Law, which was founded in 1953 by Helmut Coing, Walter Hallstein, Heinrich Kronstein and Hans-Jürgen Schlochauer, has now been integrated into the ILF. Its extensive library has been incorporated into the ILF library. Students will find further library facilities at the libraries of the University's Department of Law, the Stadt- und Universitatsbibliothek (City and University library), at the Deutsche Bibliothek, whose collection contains all books printed in German language and the library of the Deutsche Bundesbank.

The Foundation
The Institute for Law and Finance is a non-profit foundation created by the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University with the backing of other, prominent institutions. The ILF enjoys the support of leading commercial banks and international law firms, the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the City of Frankfurt and the State of Hesse, as well as the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank.
