To pursue a Master's in Law (LL.M.) in Germany, your daughter typically needs:

- Undergraduate law degree (Bachelor of Laws or equivalent) with at least 240 ECTS credits (usually a 4-year program). Shorter degrees may require additional credits.
- Minimum GPA: At least 2.5 on the German grading scale (where 1.0 is excellent and 6.0 is failing), roughly equivalent to a "Good" classification.
- German language proficiency at the C1 level, proven by exams like DSH-2 or TestDaF.

Requirements can vary by university, so check the specific admissions guidelines for her chosen programs.
