Description
Put some excitement to your summer study in Berlin!
Berlin, with its cultural and cosmopolitan kaleidoscope provides a vibrant background for summer study. Few European cities have undergone such continual redefinition and change. Berlin's restored identity as the nation's capital has been the driving force in both design and cultural diversity. The political and cultural developments of the 19th and 20th centuries are visible throughout Berlin's cityscape, reflecting both the history of architecture and various approaches to dealing with the consequences of war and destruction. Home to the designated UNESCO World Heritage site of Museum Island, of the world-famous Brandenburg Gate and the superb architecture of the impressive Reichstag building, Berlin has a magical appeal for all visitors. With approximately 3.5 million inhabitants, Berlin is the largest city in Germany and is constantly reinventing itself. Students take classes at Humbolt University, choosing from German, Business, Politics, Music and History.
AIFS program fees cover the basics and the extras: tuition, housing, meals, London visit, excursions and cultural activities, airfare if selected, visit to Hamburg, and more.
