6 business administration, economics, law, sociology, psychology, computer science and engineering.

Their knowledge of and connections to active business life, public service organisations and non-profit organisations, to multinational or smaller local companies are especially valuable in linking academic research with current issues, and in arranging placements. The first-hand expertise of 500 visiting professors, part-time and fulltime lecturers further underlines the strong professional orientation of the programmes and the pursuit of a broader interdisciplinary and holistic approach to education. The university's forward-looking stance is also evident in the inclusion of gender studies and sustainability as important elements in many of its programmes. One of the guiding principles at BSEL is to facilitate a strong link between academic theory and real-life practice. 650 partner companies and manifold relationships with public bodies represent a valuable resource. Studying without borders BSEL encourages students to experience other cultures around the globe. One of the university's core strengths are its 11 dual degree programmes with universities in China, France, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, and the UK. The university's 130 active partnerships with universities around the world facilitate regular student and faculty exchanges. More than 300 exchange students from our international partner universities discover what it is like to study at our school and in Berlin. The university also welcomes about 100 international summer school students every year. Rankings BSEL is frequently ranked among the leaders in Germany-wide surveys of programmes in its major fields.

Total number of students 10,000 Total percentage of international students 7 % About the city Berlin - a key location for academia and science As an international university location and Germany's capital city, Berlin has a rich and diverse cultural, social, and political life with a unique atmosphere. Students, researchers and scientists from all over the

7 world enjoy studying or working at one of Berlin's universities or over 70 extramural research institutes and play their part in shaping Berlin's reputation as a leading academic, artistic and scientific centre. Berlin is also a prime example of an industrial base which has been transformed into a vibrant entrepreneurial knowledge and service hub. Today the city is generating the new ideas needed to create young and successful companies in a European metropolis at the cutting edge of tomorrow's trends. Berlin is a dynamic city right at the heart of a reunited Europe - a particularly interesting place for those studying economics and law. Germany's capital city has a population of around 3.5 million and is not only a magnet for all the major currents shaping Europe today, be they political, economic, cultural, scientific, or scholarly, but is also a vibrant location, attracting people from all over the world to stay here and contribute to the city's life. In no other European city are the changes influencing today's Europe so apparent, and anyone studying here experiences this continuous development first-hand, benefiting from the mass and diversity of the political and cultural events in the city. Berlin is home to the industries of the future, from information, media, and communication to medicine and biotechnology to environmental and transport technologies. At the same time, it is a key research location, offering an almost unparalleled number and range of colleges, universities and research institutes; there are four universities, three universities of the arts, and seven colleges of applied science in the city. Berlin's 300 libraries mark it out as a unique centre for tertiary education, but Berlin's cultural landscape is also outstanding, comprising nearly 100 museums, three opera houses, the world-famous Philharmonic concert hall, nearly 50 theatres, and more than 100 cinemas, several of which show only original-language films. Add to this the innumerable restaurants, bars and pubs - all without any official closing time - and you can begin to understand the vitality of Berlin's cultural scene. Berlin is also a thriving creative area, playing host to artists and exhibitions, a lively club and music scene, media and arts industries, and is a centre for leading congresses and trade fairs. No wonder Berlin is so popular with national and international audiences alike. Disclaimer: The data used for this website was collected and analysed in good faith and with due diligence.
