It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned how to live in a foreign country and how to navigate a large city. A student - University of Virginia View Entire Review
First of all, my German language skills improved drastically, though I still wish I had spoken more. But I also learned so much about the German people through living and interacting with them on a day-to-day basis. I also learned much about myself in being able to live independently in a busy city. It was completely worthwhile,... A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
That the way Germans live is way different and in my opinion way better then Americans. Yes it was. jacob M - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
How to survive in a foreign culture and navigate in a foreign city and how to be independent. I thought it was entirely worth while. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I feel I became a much more mature and independent person from the experience. I walked away with a lot of fun memories and an appreciation for the "Berlin life style" if you can claim that such a thing even exists. Going to Berlin was definitely one of the best decisions I've made, and I'd like to go back again one day. A student - Austin College View Entire Review

I loved my study abroad experience, and I feel like I made great friends that I will keep for life. Mary W - Trinity University View Entire Review
It definitely broadened my worldview and opened my eyes to the richness of cities--just how much one building or site can signify, etc. I am interested in going back to Berlin because it has so much to offer for wannabe artists and writers. Sarah M - Fordham University View Entire Review

language skills and different perspectives; yes it was worthwhile rduieeouc - Brandeis University View Entire Review
A different view of life. I'm from a small town in Texas. Berlin is one of the few places that just about anyone can fit in because no one is the same. I've never really experienced that before. It was worthwhile. Alexandra E - Austin College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, my limits, my goals and the sort of direction I want to try to take my life next. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review

This capital city also boasts a thriving arts scene (with more than 175 museums and galleries) and some of the world’s most spectacular architecture. When you intern in Berlin, you’ll be able to walk, bike, or take a bus, tram, or train (U-Bahn) to work. Over lunch, stroll through one of Berlin’s countless parks and gardens. At night, enjoy live music or theater in this Kulturhaupstadt (cultural capital) of Germany. Interning in Berlin will boost both your résumé credentials and your cultural competence. An IES Internship in Berlin develops your professional skills and your ability to communicate across cultures, and provides substantive work experience to jump-start your career in today’s competitive job market.

Berlin Summer - Language & Culture: This program combines the development of language skills with English- and German-taught courses that expose you to Germany’s fascinating history and present-day culture and society. German language courses are available at the beginning and intermediate level. A German-taught Literature course is offered for advanced-level students. Course-related excursions plays a central role in the program, taking you outside the classroom to discover the rich heritage and contemporary culture of Berlin and Germany.
-
Berlin Summer - Metropolitan Studies & Architecture: This English-taught program explores topics in Urban Studies, Architecture, and Environmental Studies in Berlin, a city that has both rebuilt and redesigned itself over the past century. Course-related excursions are integrated to provide a first-hand look at Berlin’s architectural innovations, methods for integrating sustainable design, and various historical and political movements. Excursions to other cities in Germany round out the program, and allow you to explore the culture and architecture of Germany in a comparative context.

Berlin - International Affairs & Security Studies: Our Berlin - International Affairs & Security Studies Program is part of our 12 for 12 for 12 programs. The city of Berlin has a fascinating geo-political history: its destruction in World War II, its hostile division in the Cold War, the fall of the Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the growth of Germany as a major cultural, economic, and political force in the 21st Century. This history and its present importance make Berlin the ideal place to study International Relations, Security Studies, Sociology, Business, and Economics, as well as Culture, Film, Art, and German Language.
-
Berlin - Language & Area Studies: The minute you step off the plane in Berlin, you’ll feel its energy. It’s a place of new ideas, where sustainable technology and modern design are a way of life, and art galleries can be found on nearly every corner. But don’t forget, this dynamic city is also a center of modern European history—it has no equal for leaving its imprint on the political, social, and cultural history of the 20th century. We invite you to study in Berlin and to explore one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Specially designed to improve your German language skills, this program draws upon Berlin’s rich culture and traditions to connect your coursework with the living history of the city. IES Abroad courses are taught in German by local faculty, and a variety of academic options are available at local universities. You can also add international work experience to your résumé while earning credit by participating in an internship placement and accompanying academic seminar.
-
Berlin - Metropolitan Studies: Stroll through the streets of Berlin and around one corner you’ll see soaring modern buildings that incorporate cutting-edge sustainable technology. Around the next corner, you’ll see art galleries, cafés, and shops lining old cobblestone streets.

Come and study abroad in Berlin, and experience the energy and excitement of this amazing city.
