Program Overview

Program Description:

In the Berlin European Studies Program at Freie University (FU-BEST) you will choose from a wide range of classes that include (but are not limited to): cultural studies, art history, comparative literature, political science, sociology and comparative religion. Most classes are in English; however to better assimilate you to life in Germany, you will take German language classes as well.

"• Join FU-Best on semi-structures excursions. Past excursions have included visits to places in Berlin such as the Reichstag and to cities in Europe such as Prague, Vienna and London. • Attend German language courses available for all levels. • Make friends and practice your German with a student in the FU-BEST buddy program. • Study Germany’s most famous landmarks on-site. FU-BEST thinks of Berlin as its extended classroom, meaning many classes are conducted on-sites, class assignments often take you to the sites, and you are expected to complete two independent projects about landmarks in Berlin. "
