FU-BEST is a semester program of Freie Universität Berlin for incoming students based on the American calendar, but open to all nationalities. It is offered in Fall (late August through mid-December) and Spring (February through mid-May) and features a combination of university-standard German language instruction from Beginner to Advanced levels and a large menu of subject courses (primarily in the humanities and social sciences) taught mainly in English.

All courses make practical use of Berlin as a resource and have a strong focus on Berlin, Germany, and Europe in their respective subjects. Student services, cultural offerings (such as field-trips, opera, ballet, and soccer tickets), a week-long excursion to German and European destinations, and accommodation in homestays or studio apartments add to an intensive, enriching academic and intercultural learning experience for over 300 students each academic year.
