Berlin - Urban Studies & Social Sciences
Stroll through the streets of Berlin and around one corner you'll see soaring modern buildings that incorporate cutting-edge sustainable technology. Around another corner, you'll see art galleries, cafés, and shops lining old cobblestone streets. As a city that has been built and rebuilt over the past century, Berlin remains a city of contrasts--and of innovation. Come and study in Berlin and experience the energy and excitement of this amazing city.
Using Berlin as a case study, this English-taught program examines issues relevant to major cities today. Through comparative and interdisciplinary courses, you will study topics such as architecture, cultural identity, gender and sexual politics, multiculturalism, popular culture, and urban studies.
Berlin - Language, Culture & Politics
The minute you step off the plane in Berlin, you'll feel its energy. It's a place of new ideas, where sustainable technology and modern design are a way of life, and art galleries can be found on nearly every corner. But don't forget, this dynamic city is also a center of modern European history--it has no equal for leaving its imprint on the political, social, and cultural history of the 20th century. We invite you to study in Berlin and to explore one of the world's most vibrant cities.
Specially designed to improve your German language skills, the IES Abroad Berlin Language & Area Studies Program draws upon Berlin's rich culture and tradition to connect your coursework with the living history of the city. IES Abroad courses are taught in German by local faculty, and a variety of academic options are available at local universities.
Other Programs
Duisburg Essen - Universitaet Duisburg Essen
Through this direct enrollment program at the Universitaet Duisburg, Tulane students will enroll in the university's Political Science Department in order to take courses right alongside local degree-seeking students. The University of Duisburg-Essen was formed in 2003 when Gerhard Mercator University was merged with the University of Essen. The university was named after the great geographer and renaissance scholar Gerhard Mercator, who lived and worked in Duisburg from 1552 to 1594 and was the most significant cartographer of the early modern age.
While Tulane’s exchange is with the Faculty of Social Sciences, students will be enrolled on the Duisburg Campus (DUC) which hosts nearly 15,000 students in 5 faculties. DUC provides all advantages of a relatively small university with many opportunities for close contact between students and faculty. Because of its standing in the international academic community, DUC has become a center for conferences and a meeting place for scientists and scholars from all over the world. Despite its attractive location adjacent to a wooded area of the town, the university campus is close to the city center of Duisburg and is easily accessible by bicycle or public transportation.
