Studying in Berlin

With a population of over 3.5 million, Berlin is Germany's largest city and home to the federal government and parliament. In no other German city is there more progress and growth since German Reunification evident than here. This is apparent simply by taking one look at the city centre, Berlin Mitte. There are countless building projects underway for housing and new roads, and the cityscape in the districts of former East Berlin is marked by extensive redevelopment and renovation.

Berlin is not an industrial city, but a science, culture and media mecca with a distinct service sector in the German market. A vibrant multi-cultural orientation is characteristic of Berlin and makes it particularly attractive.

Berlin is the largest university city in Germany with three universities, four art academies, seven universities of applied sciences and a number of research institutions. The scope of academic discourse in Berlin is vast.

Berlin's two widely distributed city magazines, Zitty and Tip, are packed full of the latest information on all the cultural events taking place in the capital. Every Tuesday and Wednesday, theatre tickets are even sold at reduced prices. Upon presenting valid student identification, many facilities grant students special rebates.
