Description
The Berlin Consortium for German Studies (BCGS) at the Freie Universität Berlin is dedicated to helping students improve their German language skills by providing intensive language training, encouraging them to function independently in the German university system, and offering a program that allows them to fully experience German life, customs, and culture. Enroll directly in a German university and live in dorms or student apartments. FU Berlin offers a wide range of courses in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
