The University Community |
Berlin has many historical and other interesting facets which you will want to explore. Among them are the Reichstag, two opera houses, a soccer stadium, and the Wannsee. You will also be able to visit the Berlin Wall Museum at the former Checkpoint Charlie, see the Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg (areas famed for their alternative life-styles), tour the Charlottenburg Palace and see the extensive displays at the Botanical Gardens and the Berlin Zoo. Berlin is also well known for its many other museums of art and history as well as its world-class musical ensembles and theaters. Berlin ranks amongst the world’s most interesting cities, and you will have no lack of fun things to do and see in your free time. The program arranges many excursions within the city but also schedules a few day trips to Potsdam and Dresden, which are included in the program’s costs. |
|
Resident Director |
UNL Professor Priscilla Hayden-Roy will serve as resident director of the program. She will teach two courses and stay with the group through early June and help facilitate the internships and the university program. If you have not traveled abroad before, this is a perfect opportunity to start with a faculty member you know or will get to know very well, and who will be accessible to you.
|
|
Courses of Study |
German language courses: The intensive language program is for undergraduates. No previous knowledge of German is necessary for participation in the program. After initial testing, both at UNL and in Berlin, students will be placed according to their proficiency. A contemporary German Civilization course, taught by the resident director will round off the program. In part 2 of the program, advanced students can take regular classes at the universities after successful completion of the language requirements. |
|
Academic Credits |
For the 4 months language and culture courses 20 credit hours can be transferred (pre-arranged). Intermediate students who take three months of language and culture can earn 16 credit hours in addition to hours earned as a visiting student at a German university in the second phase of the program. This credit is transferable by UNL department validation. |
|
Internship |
Internships in your major can be arranged if known by October 1. Internships include working at a German newspaper, high school, bank, etc. Internships usually do not grant pay or credit. |
