Ludwig-Maximilians Universität Course Information . A few faculties don't offer courses in English. Through the link just provided you'll be able to determine which do and which don't.

The LMU Exchange Office could ask, in the case of *small* classes, that LMU professors provide instruction in English (rather than in German) and allow our students to turn in assignments and write exams in English. If there are one or a few courses that you'd really like to take but they are only offered in German and you don't speak German, or don't speak it well enough, you can send an email to goabroad@ualberta.ca to ask that a request be sent to the LMU Exchange Office to ask on your behalf if the accommodations just described could be provided for you.
