How do I register for classes?

Course registration at Freie Universität Berlin takes place on the platform Campus Management. At How do I use Campus Management? you can find a video that explains the registration process on Campus Management in detail.

You can find the language classes that are offered by the Language Center each semester and the pre-requisites online in the course catalogue.

Registration for language classes is not done directly on Campus Management, but with a separate registration form from the Language Center. There is a special form for exchange students. On the Language Center's website, you can find the registration form, a graphic explaining the registration procedure, and the application deadlines.

Registration usually already takes place the week before lectures.

Once the language center has assigned you to a class, you will have to register for it on Campus Management during the third week of lecture period.

Applicants who have prior knowledge of the respective language, but haven’t taken a class at the Language Center yet, have to take a placement test before registration.

If you don’t really know what ABV and LBW courses are, take a look at the “What is the structure of a bachelor’s study program?”-section of the OSA.

The responsible department will give out information in case a separate special registration procedure for an exam is required.

What do module examinations consist of?
