Program Description:
Freie Universität Berlin was founded in 1948 on the principles of academic freedom and democracy. Today, it is one of Germany’s leading research universities with nearly 30,000 students and 4,000 staff. As an “International Network University,” we connect students and scholars through a unique global alliance of strategic academic partnerships, joint research projects, and international liaison offices. Our global outlook and strategy have made us a leading destination for international researchers and Germany’s most popular university amongst international doctoral candidates.

We are one of eleven Universities of Excellence in the German government’s Excellence Initiative and have placed prominently in institutional rankings, including the CHE University Ranking, the Funding Ranking of the German Research Foundation (DFG), and the QS World University Ranking. As one of Germany’s most international universities, we have scored top positions in rankings of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for years.

Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in Europe. As Germany’s capital and cultural metropolis, it attracts people from around the world. A vibrant and constantly changing city, it is a center of cultural, political, and economic life. The Dahlem campus hosts the majority of the university’s 15 departments and central institutes, more than 20 libraries, various student cafes and dining halls – including Germany’s first vegetarian university dining hall – university sport facilities, and the Botanic Garden. The campus is surrounded by wonderful green gardens and lakes.
