Freie Universität Berlin International Summer and Winter University (FUBiS) is an intensive, academic program. At one of Germany's top universities, students can gain first insights into German culture and language.

The subject classes focus on Berlin, Germany, and Europe. All courses except for the German language and literature courses are held in English.

Every year, these academic courses attract about 500 students from over 60 countries, making FUBiS the largest multidisciplinary summer and winter university in Germany.
