Freie Universität Berlin invites applications for
participation in its new FU-BEST (Berlin European
Studies) program.
For full details, as well as application
materials, please visit our website at
www.fu-berlin.de/fubest and click on the many
links to all the information and documents,
including course syllabi. The
application/financial aid deadline for
participation in the Fall 2005 semester is March
31. Those applying only for admission but not for
financial aid should note the deadline of May 1.
The application deadlines for the Spring 2006
semester are September 15 (admission plus
financial aid) and October 1 (admission only).
This new program seeks to provide students a
high-quality program in one of Europe's most
dynamic and fascinating cities, with a blend of
enclave and direct-enrollment characteristics at
no financial risk to the sending institution.
Hosted, designed, and run by one of Germany's
most internationally oriented universities, the
FU-BEST program is based on the North American
academic calendar and credit system, featuring
Fall and Spring semesters, and is open to all
qualified degree and non-degree students. It
primarily targets interested undergraduates, but
graduate students who wish to obtain FU-BEST
credits are welcome as well.
All participants are required to enroll in 6-8
credits of intensive German language training in
order to enhance their linguistic immersion
experience. An additional menu of courses taught
in English, with selected FU students also
attending, enables students to develop a
comprehensive understanding of historical as well
as contemporary developments in Germany and
Europe at large. The courses are drawn from
disciplines ranging from history, political
science, and sociology to art history, cinema
studies, and comparative literature. Students who
develop (or who already have) sufficient language
skills also have the option of enrolling in the
FU's regular Sommersemester (April-July) as an
add-on experience after the Fall-Spring academic
year.
Local and off-site field-trips are part of the
program, along with a series of cultural events.
Participants opt to live with host-families or in
fully furnished, single-occupancy studio
apartments.
