A programme for future European leaders in the fields of
science, business, politics, culture and administration
An initiative of the German National Academic Foundation
and the Hertie Foundation
The Studienkolleg zu Berlin endows excellent students with vital awareness about the objectives and values of Europe in preparation for their future duties and responsibilities in the worlds of science, business, politics, culture and administration. It enables participants to experience European diversity and provides them with an opportunity to explore their own questions – beyond the borders of academic disciplines, the different European countries and the university system.
With this objective, the Studienkolleg invites about 30 gifted students of all disciplines from Germany and other European countries to spend a year in Berlin. Along with continuing their studies at one of the universities in Berlin or Brandenburg, the scholarship holders also take part in the Studienkolleg’s accompanying programme. This programme’s core module is a project on current issues relating to Europe on which teams of participants from different countries and disciplines cooperate during the entire academic year. The project work is supplemented by weekly evening events and by several seminars. For the foreign students a German class is provided. The Studienkolleg’s language is German.
The Studienkolleg zu Berlin is a joint initiative of the German National Academic Foundation and The Hertie Foundation, in cooperation with the Berlin Institute for Advanced Study and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
