About Program
In this summer program, students can choose to enroll in either a four-week or a six-week term. Students enroll in FUBiS, the summer program of the Freie Universität of Berlin, and they will take two courses, one in German language and another in German culture. Courses are available for all levels of language and content courses, usually taught in English, are offered in subjects as diverse as history, politics, art, film, economics and literature. Develop intercultural communication skills by joining the international community of students from more than 50 countries that attends FUBiS every year and further language skills by living with a local family in a homestay.
Field trips to museums, memorials and cultural and political institutions are integral components of all classes, and some courses even allow meetings with local leaders and diplomats.
Students looking for a more intense language course should look into the Intensive German Language in Berlin program.

Location
Berlin is not only the capital of Germany, but also in many ways the capital of Europe, sitting at the crossroads of the East and West. Germany serves as the continent's largest economy and the world's fourth largest overall. It's a major player in industry, engineering, science, and renewable energy, and Berlin has recently been dubbed the start-up capital of Europe, surpassing London after the 2016 Brexit decision.
Rebuilt after being destroyed in multiple wars and reunified after being split in two for thirty years, Berlin has an unparalleled experience in recreation and reinvention. The city is now famous for attracting young people, free-thinkers, visionaries, entrepreneurs, artists, and scholars, and of the 3.5 million inhabitants, over one-third are from outside Germany.
