The field of Jewish studies focuses on the culture, religion, literature, languages, and history of Judaism from their Biblical origins to modern times. It also encompasses an extraordinarily large geographical area, taking into account not only Israel but also the Diaspora in research and instruction. A certain degree of specialization is thus absolutely essential. Jewish studies at the University of Freiburg concentrates on two areas: the Biblical and Talmudic literature, which has a major impact on Judaism to the present day, and contemporary Jewish literature, as the modern state of Israel has become a new center of Jewish life. These two poles are excellent starting points for reaching an understanding of all topics of Jewish studies. In addition to the study of sources, the program emphasizes topics from cultural and religious history.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
