Physical health: university sports

Lectures and events at the university
Regardless of your study programs, there are numerous lectures and events on a wide variety of topics every day at Freie Universität and other universities and institutions in Berlin—and they are always free of charge. Many of them are in English. Take a look at the following websites or subscribe to the newsletters:
- Dahlem Humanities Center: As a hub for humanities research at Freie Universität Berlin, the DHC publishes the DHC Weekly, which provides an overview of current events in the humanities—lectures, conferences, readings, film screenings, etc.—organized by university institutions. The DHC Weekly is published every Friday (except during term breaks) and lists the events of the upcoming week as well as a preview of the subsequent one.
- Berliner Antike-Kolleg: Would you like to keep up to date with dates and activities in the field of Classical Studies in the Berlin/Brandenburg region? Then sign up for the BAK newsletter.
- Our department: You can find the English-language events at our department here. For all events, go here.
Cinema
During the semester, CampusKino FU Berlin shows several films every week—usually in the original language with subtitles (“OmU”) and at low prices—sometimes even free of charge.
Student initiatives
if you are looking for opportunities to engage with other students at the department and your institute, please check out this document: it is a list of all “FSI”, aka student councils/initiatives, at our institutes. Some of them have mailing lists and/or social media accounts that you may join in order to receive news on social gatherings and various events.
