Study abroad in multifaceted Germany full of history, culture, and entertainment.

Architectural laboratory. Industrial giant. Cultural capital. Germany is the perfect setting to study abroad and explore your passion – whether it’s art and architecture, business and economics, or German language and culture. When you study in Germany, you can discover countless museums, theaters, restaurants, and music venues that enhance your understanding of the German people and their unique customs (polterabend anyone?).

Based at CIEE’s original Open Campus Block Network center in the heart of Berlin, our study abroad programs in Germany allow students to design their own programs with surprisingly flexible options, traditional direct enrollment, and internship opportunities to gain professional international experience.

Let Germany’s rich history, folklore, and fairytales stimulate your imagination. Storybook landscapes, world-class food, and welcoming people will leave a lasting impression and change your worldview. You might find it hard to say auf wiedersehen!
