Abstract	The multilingual roots of Switzerland and especially the bilingual roots of the city and canton of Freiburg are described. So also are the history and structure of the bilingual University of Freiburg which has the particularity of being aimed at providing all its students with a bilingual academic background. The development of bilingual studies and degrees is briefly discussed along with the opportunities available. On the one hand, there are clearly defined and quantified diplomas; on the other hand, the choice of attending several courses in the second language, but of taking examinations in the primary language. Between the two extremes - the definition of bilingual diplomas on the one hand and several special courses on the other - there is a wide rage of ways to achieve academic bilingualism. Finally, basic principles for the operation of a multilingual university are proposed. ( DIPF/Orig.)
