FUBiS - FUB Language Courses

FUBiS is an intensive, academic program through which students can earn credits that may be counted towards their degrees at their home institutions. FUBiS sessions run for 4 to 6 weeks and take place both in summer and winter. FUBiS offers intensive and semi-intensive German language classes at up to five different proficiency levels.

Within a few weeks the courses will help you to develop competences in listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as provide you with knowledge of the German culture.

The FUBiS program offers students many choices to learn German:

  • Participation in either one semi-intensive German class or in one subject class.
  • Intensive German language classes. These classes meet every weekday and allow students to focus on and thus considerably improve their German skills.
  • Combination of language and subject classes (term II/III). This allows students to improve their language skills as well as further their knowledge of a subject matter.
  • Combination of two subject classes which may count toward a major or minor at the home institution.

 

Situated in the historically important city of Berlin, FUBiS classes make use of the vast historic, cultural, and political institutions and resources the city offers. Study and field trips to museums, memorials as well as political and cultural institutions are integral parts of the curriculum.
