LLM Berlin in English?

Does anyone know if there is an LLM programme in Berlin taught in english? I can't really attend a course in german. I have heard about Berlin School of Economics and Law but I am not sure if it takes place in Berlin. Can somebody help me, please?
Thank you in advance

Not that I know. Berlin School of Economics and Law is not a proper law school and they don't have an LLM.

There are two strong universities with a law faculty in Berlin: Freie Universität (FU) and Humboldt-Universität (HU). As afar as I know, you can only do an LLM at these universities if you know German. Same with Potsdam University located right next to Berlin.

Sydney University used to have an English-language LLM in Berlin, but I'm not sure it still exists. Just check their website.

Anyway, you need to come to Berlin. It's the most exciting city in Germany and a perfect place for students!

Not much to add to Erkan, except for the fact that there are also two good Universities in Hamburg which offer LLMs, as well, and I think the "LLM" (or rather MLB!) at Bucerius Law School is in English, too. And Hamburg is arguably as exciting as Berlin!

Bucerius offers courses in English. I graduated from that school and now at AU for my LLM. I came to AU as an exchange student initially and they let me transfer the courses I took as an exchange to the LLM program. I could have done my LLM at Bucerius as well but according to the lawyers i have worked with ( internships) they prefer an LLM from the USA.

Bucerius has an excellent reputation in Germany. You could even stay in Berlin an study in Hamburg. The trip takes 1:39 with the ICE train: reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/dn?revia=yes&e…

However, this will be quite costly and you will not get the benefits of student life at Bucerius/WHU.

Two more programs to add: ILF (Finance Law) in Frankfurt and MIPLC (IP Law) in Munich also offer strong English-language LLM programs in Germany.
