Student delegates assume the roles of representatives of states and carry out negotiations on various topics in different committees, such as the UN General Assembly, the World Health Organization, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The range of topics is broad, and there are opportunities for students of all subjects. The delegates practice strategies in conflict resolution as well as negotiating in English and thus acquire key skills.

Since 1995 delegations have been participating in the NMUN programs under the leadership of Freie Universität Berlin. The students come from all disciplines and subject backgrounds. The delegations from Freie Universität have won many awards for their outstanding achievements.
