About
The FU-BEST (Berlin European Studies Program) and FUBiS (International Summer and Winter University) were created by Freie Universität Berlin with the needs of American and international students in mind. Courses are generally taught in English, and students are required to take a German language course. Freie Universität Berlin is one of the top ranked universities in Germany, and is considered among the top 75 in the world.
Semester European Studies:
- The Freie Universität Berlin European Studies Program (FU-BEST) was specifically created by one of Germany’s top universities to offer North American and international students cultural and business courses focusing on Germany and its role in Europe. What is unique about this program is that it is primarily offered in English, and on the North American calendar (as opposed to many other German universities which operate on a different academic calendar). All students are required to take a German language course, and depending on their level they will follow a regular (3-4 credit for beginners) or intensive (6-8 for non-beginners) credit option. They then select 2-4 culture options to round out their academic schedule. This program is open to second semester sophomores and up.
Summer German Language and European Studies
- This program offers international students courses in English that cover language, culture, fashion, history, international relations, and more that focus on Germany and its role in Europe. Students in this summer program may elect to take only German language coursework, coursework in English, or a combination. FUBiS offers intensive summer programs for dedicated and diligent students. FUBiS German language courses focus on the development of language competence in writing, reading, listening, and speaking, and are taught at European Framework Levels A1 – C1.
