Students from the Turkish-German University Faculty of Law participated in Summer School in Germany
01.08.2025
From 7 to 25 July 2025, twelve successful first-year students from our faculty participated in a summer school programme at the Free University of Berlin. The programme was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Seher and supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
Through a combination of lectures, visits to academic institutions and court observations, the students were able to expand their legal knowledge and familiarise themselves with the German legal system. Observing criminal proceedings at the Berlin Court of Appeal, the Tiergarten District Court, and the Berlin Regional Court provided insight into the inner workings of the German judicial system.
Visits to the German Bundestag, the Berlin House of Representatives, and the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection provided an overview of Germany's constitutional, political, and democratic structures.
Alongside the academic programme, a trip to Potsdam was organised to introduce the students to Germany's historical and cultural landscape. Furthermore, the students had the opportunity to deliver academic presentations on criminal law in German, thus improving their language skills. This gave them valuable international experience and the chance to compare the legal systems of Turkey and Germany.
