FUBiS - Freie Universität Berlin International Summer and Winter University 

FUBiS is an intensive academic program offered by Freie Universität Berlin in which students can earn credits that can be applied to their home institutions' degrees. FUBiS sessions last 3 to 6 weeks and are held both in the summer and winter. FUBiS' mission is to provide international students with a premier study abroad program that delivers the highest academic quality while also promoting intercultural competence. FUBiS's goal is to provide a stimulating and rewarding academic, cultural, and personal experience. FUBiS offers intensive and semi-intensive German language classes at five different levels of proficiency. FUBiS also provides subject classes on a variety of class topics.
