Absolutely worthwhile! I learned to be so much more independent and how to be spontaneous and appreciate the moment, especially during my fall break traveling alone.

I gained a confidence I didn't have before. Every day I was in a culture different from mine and had to overcome the obstacles of language and cultural barriers. Ultimately, I learned not only about other cultures, but about myself; in particular, my ability to take a challenge head on, and be a better person because of it.

About
The summer program is an 8-week, full-time internship combining weekly classroom seminars with global work experience in Berlin. You’ll gain practical exposure to the demands of specific jobs while developing your professional and personal skills. Past internships have been in business, event management, health care, international education, marketing, policy consulting, and social work.
Berlin, with its cultural and cosmopolitan kaleidoscope, provides a vibrant background for studying abroad. Few European cities have undergone such continual redefinition and change. Berlin’s restored identity as the nation’s capital has been the driving force in both design and cultural diversity.
Immerse yourself in the culture of Berlin through activities such as guided city tours, visits to museums and historical sites, boat trips, German cooking classes and a day trip to Potsdam.
Over 50% of students receive financial assistance from AIFS in the form of grants or scholarships.
