Thanks to Commerzbank and DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), a very special ILF Alumni Homecoming Event was held on 23 & 24 October 2009 at our new location on Campus Westend of the University premises.
We welcomed our alumni home from all over the world: UK, USA, France, Italy, Lithuania, Croatia, Belgium, Lebanon, Slovenia, Turkey, Spain, Serbia, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland, just to name a few.

On 12 October 2009, we started the new academic year 2009/10 with the biggest class of ILF students - a total of 47 students from 32 nations! From this class, 42 students will be pursuing the LL.M. Finance degree and 5 students will be participating in the Erasmus Mundus Master’s Program supported by the European Commission and they will receive the European Master in Transnational Trade Law and Finance degree after completing a 2-year program.
The Institute for Law and Finance offers career-oriented training in law and finance in the European financial center, Frankfurt.
