Overview

• Lang shared a photo outside Humboldt University to confirm the degree and joked that she finished “before GTA6.”
• She began studying law in 2012, moved from Heidelberg to Humboldt in Berlin, and paused the program around 2019 as her political responsibilities grew.
• Her Bachelor of Laws is an alternative university credential that does not replace the German Staatsexamen required for judicial careers.
• She told BILD she is already enrolled for a law master’s at FernUniversität in Hagen and will study part-time starting this semester.
• Lang said completing the degree gives her more freedom and makes her less dependent on politics, a development that also undercuts a 2024 jab by CSU leader Markus Söder about her lacking a qualification.
