We are delighted that you are interested in an exchange at the Institute of Near Eastern Archaeology at the FU Berlin.

Initial and general information for Erasmus incomings can be found here

Our courses

A list of current courses can be found in the FU Berlin course catalogue and on our website under Studies, Courses in the current semester.

As an Erasmus incoming student, you can take part in all courses. However, we recommend that you contact your home university in advance to find out whether you can have the courses at the FU Berlin recognised. The courses you select will be recorded in the Learning Agreement. Further forms for the Learning Agreement can be found here and the portal for the Learning Agreement here. 

Please register for the courses via Campus Management.

Language

The courses in the Bachelor's programme are held in German, as are most of the courses in the Master's programme. Therefore, a minimum language level of B1 is required to follow the courses.

ECTS credits

The FU Berlin awards credit points for the courses. ECTS points are converted as follows:

Participation in lecture, seminar, exercise, colloquium	2 ECTS for semester (without grading)
Participation with a presentation or exam (BA + MA)	4 ECTS*
Participation with a presentation and a term paper in BA (10-15 pages)	8 ECTS*
Participation with a presentation and a term paper in MA (20-25 pages)	13 ECTS*
*The number of ECTS depends on the actual scope of the examination performance and the study level and, if applicable, the individual language level. For a detailed overview please have a look at the list of courses and ECTS

Trasnscript of Records (ToR)

A Transcript of Records (ToR) will be issued at the end of your study visit. A ToR can be issued as soon as all coursework has been completed.

The following documents are required for the issue of a ToR:

• Application for your Transcript of Records  (Deutsch, English)
