Yes — 33 of the 36 Law (LL.M.) master's programs listed here are taught in English. Most require IELTS 6.0–7.0 or TOEFL 80–100; no German is needed for admission to English-taught programs, though basic German helps with daily life and part-time jobs.
23 of the 36 programs listed are tuition-free: public universities in most German states charge no tuition, only a semester contribution of roughly €150–€400 which usually includes a public transport ticket. Private universities and some specialized programs charge tuition.
Typical steps: (1) convert your grades to the German scale to check eligibility, (2) shortlist programs and check requirements on each university page, (3) prepare your documents — CV in German format and a program-specific motivation letter carry real weight, (4) apply via uni-assist or the university portal before the deadline (often 15 July for winter intake), and (5) apply for your student visa once admitted. German Path's free and AI tools cover every step.
