By going through this process FUBiS has demonstrated that it is in conformity with the Forum’s Standards of Good Practice, maintains a commitment and dedication both to offering high quality programs in education abroad at a level of excellence acceptable to the larger academic community, and to continuous assessment and improvement.
 

The overall FUBiS program offers students many choices depending on the term:

• Participation in either one semi-intensive German class or in one subject class.
• Intensive German language classes. These classes meet every weekday and allow students to focus on and thus considerably improve their German skills. 
• Combination of language and subject classes (Term II/III). This allows students to improve their language skills as well as further their knowledge of a subject matter.
• Combination of two subject classes (Term II/III) which may count toward a major or minor at the home institution.
• Free digital lectures and more on the FUBiS YouTube channel.
