| |  |  | |  | Berlin has it all as an iconic European capital city . Enriched by diverse urban communities, a thriving art scene, modern architecture, and steeped in a sense of progress, though never forgetting it's past – the Freie Universitat Berlin program offers an ideal environment for those who wish to study more on the politics, culture, and industry of modern day Germany and of the entire European Union.
At one time, a symbol of Cold War division, Berlin is the center of German politics, arts, and cultural life, as well as a gateway to Eastern Europe. Rich in history, yet also called Europe’s largest building site, you will find Berlin a city with a divided past that is barreling into the 21st century. From monumental Brandenburg Gate to the shops and bustling commerce on the Ku’damm to the hip Hackesche Hoefe district, Berlin is an East -West metropolis with something for everyone. Today Berlin is proud of its large and varied cultural scene, which includes three opera houses, more than 150 theaters and concert halls, 400 independent theater groups, 70 museums, 200 art galleries, 120 cinemas, and numerous other cultural centers. In the Tiergarten the "House of World Cultures" presents a wealth of events and exhibitions featuring cultures from outside Europe. What makes Berlin's cultural atmosphere so dynamic is the coexistence of the big names in the arts and entertainment industry and the countless artists, painters and sculptors, composers and musicians, poets and writers who make up the local scene.
