Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) at University College Freiburg is an approach to education, not just a program name.
LAS is a four-year, English-taught, interdisciplinary Bachelor program. It reaches across academic fields while also offering discipline-oriented academic training in one particular Major (120 ECTS credits). Students choose their Major after their first year of studies:

The Core (56 ECTS credits) is shared by all LAS students. It encompasses basic and advanced academic skills, reflections on knowledge and science, and a curriculum on Responsibility and Leadership.
In the Electives (64 ECTS credits), students can choose from a variety of courses and projects to further shape their educational profile.
