The FUBiS program is designed to include participation not only in the actual courses themselves but also in discipline-specific colloquia and group excursions. This is 4 h 15 min contact hours per day in class. This is 6 h 15 min instruction per unit. Wednesday is devoted to private study, when the participants may use intensively the library facilities on campus. In this class students have 4 hours instruction every weekday.
All courses offer the possibility to participate in excursions to sites within and around Berlin.
Complementing the program there will be numerous social and cultural activities on the weekends as e.g. theater, museum and concert visits.
