We offer four individual modules on the following themes in the domain of German history:
1. Prussia and the “enlightened absolutism” of Friedrich II
2. The Jews in Berlin from 1900 to the present
3. The Weimar Republic and Fascism (1918-45)
4. The division and reunification of Berlin
We would also be pleased to hear about your own particular areas of interest and will gladly expand our repertoire to include these. The modules combine an intensive study of history and historical context with exploration of Berlin and Potsdam. The knowledge of history which you will gain from the lectures will be brought to life through visits to museums, memorials, historical graveyards, former homes of historical figures and other places of historic interest in Berlin .
Faculty Information:
A harmonious, multi-talented and committed team of teachers, each with their own specialist areas, awaits you at our Institute to prepare you thoroughly for the German examination of your choice (ZD, ZMP, DSH or TestDaF). Our teachers are highly qualified, and have substantial experience in teaching German as a Foreign Language, in addition to being equipped with knowledge of the language and culture of the students they teach. This enables them to give their students culturally sensitive support in the appropriate language – an all-important asset in your first few months of acclimatization in Germany.
