Besides visits at some independent law firms in Regensburg or at major law firms in Munich, there’s the possibility to take part of some lectures and workshops at the university.

Draft Social Programme

Regensburg offers a cultural programme with a big diversity of museums like The East German Art Gallery (museum for modern art in the region), the “Empty bag” (city gallery, exhibiting artists from the East Bavarian area) or the theatre. Regensburg is also known for its St. Emmeram Castle owned by the Thurn & Taxis royal family and the imposing St. Peters Cathedral. An excursion to the Walhalla as a vast temple of marble is totally worth it, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the city. The summertime is perfect for BBQ and sunbathing at the Danube and in the winter there are several Christmas markets to explore. Regensburg is famous for one of the highest density of bars and pubs in Bavaria with student-friendly prices, so it’s perfect for going out, enjoying the Bavarian beer or some drinks and afterwards you have several options to go clubbing including every music taste.

Day trips to Munich are possible to visit a major law firm f.e.
