FUBiS offers intensive and semi-intensive German language classes on up to five different levels of proficiency. Semi-intensive German language classes meet three to four days a week whereas intensive German language classes meet every weekday.
FUBiS also offers subject classes, which meet two to four days a week. These classes are held mostly in English by distinguished German or international faculty. Depending on term availability, students have the possibility to combine two subject courses or a subject course with a semi-intensive German language course.
Study and field trips to museums, memorials as well as political and cultural institutions are integral parts of all courses. In addition, FUBiS offers a variety of extracurricular activities like a guided tour along the former Berlin Wall, a visit of the Reichstag Building and the Federal Parliament, a River Boat Tour through downtown Berlin (in summer only) as well as weekend trips to e.g. Leipzig, Potsdam, Dresden, and Lübeck.
