E.g. the Law for Universities in the Free State of Saxony from December 10, 2008, obliges universities to offer further education (cp. http://www.smwk.sachsen.de/download/HG-Gesetz(2).pdf, §38). In earlier versions of this law universities were only asked to develop and offer study programs in further education.

In 2007 there were less than 6,800 bachelor graduates in the humanities (law sciences, economics and business administration, social sciences) in Germany. This is still a small number in comparison to approximately 94,000 graduations in these areas altogether with a vast majority of graduations in diploma programs. Cp. the reports of the HRK (Standing Committee of Rectors and Presidents) in Germany.
