Subjects & Degrees
The list below is subject to continuous changes. Before applying, please check also the current list of our courses and the list of additional language requirements (both lists only in German; generally updated before 1 June and 1 December).
In case you consider choosing a combined Bachelor course, you need to combine your major with one or two minors. Most subjects listed below can not only be chosen as a major but also as a minor (60 or 30 ECTS credits/cr) for combination with other majors. Some subjects are exclusively available as minors. A 90 cr major requires either one 60 cr minor or two 30 cr minors for combination. A 120 cr major in a combined Bachelor course may require one 30 cr minor (this currently applies only to Jewish Studies and North American Studies). With certain subject combinations, graduates have the option to apply for a Master of Education program.
Bachelor programs which are listed without credits in the table below, do not require an additional application for a minor.
For most courses, the Freie Universitat Berlin accepts beginners only in winter semester.
Please apply only if you possess adequate skills in German (normally TestDaF 4 in all parts, or DSH-2; only German Language & Literature requires DSH-3 or TestDaf 5 in all parts) and in the other language(s) your subject may require (see above).
* Course requires additional English skills (B1 GER, IELTS 4,5, ITb TOEFL 60, or equivalent)
