Berlin Intensive 2-Week Course
Berlin, Germany
August 1 – 15, 2010

 

After the Prague program ends, continue your experience in Europe by attending an intensive 2-week course in Berlin from August 1 -15, 2010. Students earn 3 US/ 6 ECTS credits by taking F2718 German Politics in a Changing World. Morning lectures and discussions are supplemented by afternoon excursions to historical places in the city of Berlin, screenings of German movies and meetings with German journalists and politicians. The course is designed as an introduction to German politics over the last 60 years and relates the historical developments in post-war, West-, East-, and reunified Germany to global and international developments over the same time. Students live apartment-style in Berlin's trendy neighborhoods and experience the city as a real 'Berliner', not a tourist.

The course is upper-division, taught in English, and fully accredited. Transcripts are issued by Charles University, the oldest university in Eastern Europe. The course is worth 3 US/6 ECTS semester credits. Credits can be transferred upon approval from the student's home university.
