Meet the faculty
Prof. Dr. Matthias Jacobs
"I appreciate the close and friendly working relationship with my excellent research assistants, which has already often resulted in common research projects, and the many-facetted opportunities to incorporate new impulses from practice into my research."
Prof. Dr. Hermann Pünder
"Most of our students are not just extraordinarily talented but also extraordinarily likeable. And they know that it's about the "et ... et": they work hard and they play hard. When such qualities are combined, the result is a wonderful student life."
Prof. Dr. Jens Prütting
"Bucerius Law School offers extensive support to address research from an interdisciplinary angle which requires time as well as financial and human resources. All of these resources are provided without excessive bureaucratic effort."

Colorful campus in central Hamburg
A time-honored, modernized main building with two contemporary annexes, situated between Hamburg's attractive down-town area and one of the city's largest recreational parks - the Bucerius Law School campus is a hidden gem with wow-effect.
But that is not what makes the campus unique. It's the people. The people who study, teach, work and conduct research at Bucerius Law School every day and live the "Law School Spirit".
