Application


Please note the following carefully:

For participation in the Fall semester, apply no later than May 1; for participation in the Spring semester, apply no later than October 15. If applying to participate for a full academic year, please submit two separate applications for two semesters at the same time or at separate points in time. Please note that the deadlines indicate the dates on which an application must have arrived in our office!

Applications for the Sommersemester (April-July) require that you be in Berlin at least during the Spring semester (January-April) and pass a language qualification test: this application will thus be carried out on-site.

The FU-BEST program operates within logistical enrollment limitations. Admission is basically granted on a rolling basis, whereby formal program partner institutions receive additional preferential consideration. Students whose applications are submitted after a maximum feasible enrollment has been reached (although perhaps still prior to the regular deadline) are placed on a waiting list.
