Berlin Courses & Internships

Berlin has a population of over three million and is the seat of the German Federal Government.

If your image of Berlin is that of post World War 2 devastation, you're in for a big surprise. This city is forward-thinking, fast-moving and has an abundant youthful, energetic population.

Having been almost completely rebuilt as a twenty-first century metropolis, Berlin is a melting pot of all that is new and exciting in the arts, music, design, architecture and commerce.
