There are some places still available for the online summer courses offered as part of the international short-term study program FUB-ContinuEd. The program offers certificate courses, mainly taught in English, for people who would like to acquire academic knowledge and key skills to further boost their professional and personal development. The courses on offer encompass a range of topics relevant to the professional world. Participants are introduced to these topics in courses that combine methodology with practical skills. The program also includes the course “Wissenschaftliches Schreiben auf Deutsch” (“Academic Writing in German”), specially designed for academics, students, and doctoral candidates who need additional support with their German writing skills. Those wishing to attend can sign up via the program website. On the FUB-ContinuEd YouTube channel, instructors give personal insights into their courses.

The courses are subject to a fee and designed to fit around work and studies. Over a period of seven to nine weeks, online classes impart the most important findings from the latest research to participants and link them to the practical demands of the workplace. With live online sessions and self-study phases, the courses offer participants flexibility in terms of when and how they organize their learning. The courses take place at different times of the day, allowing participants from different time zones to attend the courses. Small classes with six to fifteen students foster an intensive and in-depth learning environment. Participants receive a certificate from Freie Universität Berlin upon successful completion of the course.
