Duke in Berlin: Spring Study Abroad in Germany
Program Overview
Spend your spring in Berlin, a city where history, innovation, and culture come together. Duke in Berlin, founded in 1988 at Freie Universität (FU) Berlin just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, offers students the chance to study at one of Germany’s top universities while receiving dedicated support from Duke on-site staff. Whether you’re starting German from scratch or building on advanced coursework, this program is designed for all language levels. Beginners can start the language from scratch, while advanced students continue building proficiency through immersive coursework and daily life in Berlin. With courses in German language, culture, literature, business, art history, and more – plus the opportunity to enroll directly at FU – Berlin becomes both your campus and your classroom.
