Participation in the FU-BEST programme includes mandatory enrolment in German language classes, offered at all levels (132 contact hours and 7 ECTS credits for intensive instruction at all levels, and 84 contact hours and 5 ECTS credits for non-intensive instruction at the beginner level). The FU-BEST programme does not require knowledge of German prior to enrolment. Additionally, students choose from a selection of subject courses (45 contact hours / 5 ECTS each) taught mostly in English by expert faculty members, covering such topics and disciplines as cultural studies, art history, comparative literature, the European Union, German history, German and European politics, sociology, film studies, legal studies, architecture, environmental studies, transatlantic relations, business, music history, religious studies, and philosophy. All courses make practical use of Berlin as a resource and have a strong focus on Berlin, Germany, and Europe in their respective subjects. Small classes, expert faculty, and the availability of day-to-day guidance are designed to enable students to make the most of this unique educational opportunity.
