As we would like to make it as easy as possible for our international students to settle in Berlin and adapt to life at Freie Universität and Humboldt Universität, we have collected information on the city and the two universities. We hope the information provided here will be helpful to our students in getting help on the visa application process, dealing with the authorities and preparing for their stay in Berlin, in knowing how and where best to partake in German courses and in learning about the services offered to international students at the universities.
