“Interesting content and dedicated/excellent university”
Marcela M
Germany, Graduate
, 2012
OverallFreie Universität Berlin is one of the top scientific addresses. It is one of the German universities that have been successful in all three funding lines of the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments and whose excellence future concepts are being funded.
The lecturers I knew were incredibly competent in their field and were able to convey this knowledge in an appropriate manner. If there were problems or the like, you could get in touch with them and find a solution. This made studying much easier.

“Amazing Student City!!”

Overall
All of my courses have been very interesting and challenging which I enjoy. The teachers are professional and extremely helpful and always encourage engagement. The students are friendly are always intrigued by the topics. The campus is nice and quiet, theres a big cafeteria with affordable food. The student life in Berlin is amazing and Berlin is built just for students so you can find many student jobs or student facilities.

“Corona studies”

Overall
Because I started to study during corona, I can't describe the "normal" experience at "Freie Universität". But I have to say they managed everything extremely well. There were a lot of online meetings, etc.
The teachers were all very nice and all the students I spoke to too(limited due to covid).

Be prepared that you are expected to speak German. Some people get offended if you speak Englich.
