Commentary to Hamburg University law 2nd Ed.

The second edition of the commentary on the Hamburg University law responds to the extensive legislative changes of recent years. In particular, the relevant legal bases for the governance of universities have been amended. The legislator of the Hamburg Higher Education Act is thus reacting to social and higher education developments as well as new budgetary requirements.

The new edition of the hand commentary takes this into account with a comprehensively updated presentation, including the most recent decision of the Federal Constitutional Court on the accreditation of study programmes.
Against the background of the unbroken and continuing increase in student demand and the associated capacity disputes before the courts, the new edition also contains a comprehensive commentary on the Hamburg Higher Education Admission Act (HZG) for the first time. The amendments to the HZG that came into force in September 2016 have also been taken into account.
