“I spent the Summer Semester of 2016 in Berlin, Germany at Freie University. It was an incredible experience which I recommend highly to any law student. The diversity of my classmates and the lens through which subjects like international law, human rights, the United Nations, and Economics are viewed in Europe allowed me to view our legal system from a perspective that I would not have been able to get here at UConn Law. “

“My experience in Berlin was extremely positive, benefiting all aspects of my life, personally and professionally. I enthusiastically recommend a year of study in Berlin to any and all students who are fluent in German.”

However, as recently as 2003 a Pop Academy was established offering degree programs in pop music design and music business, creating a vibrant musical influence on the city.

People from 168 countries shape the cultural life of the city and influence its fashion, music, and art. Primarily known for its music festivals, there are also a number of well-known theaters and art museums. The region boasts 15 internationally renowned music, film, and literary festivals, offering a broad spectrum of programming.

The Culture

Münster is one of the largest university towns in Germany located near the Dutch border just in between Cologne and Hamburg. The Altstadt (old town) was rebuilt after WWII to resemble its medieval predecessor and is considered to be the cultural centre of the Westphalia region. This is a cosmopolitan city, youthful, laid-back and proud of a history going back more than 1,200 years. Whether as a bishop's seat, a member of the Hanseatic League or a university city – Münster has always played an important role in the region and far beyond. The city earned its place in the annals of world history when the Treaty of Westphalia was signed there.

The locals love their bikes and prefer to use them instead of their cars because the city is extremely compact. The beautiful city has a homey feeling, has numerous parks to relax in, many cultural activities such as sighting and museums and many historic buildings around the city. The universities and research institutes have attracted many young people to the city. In fact, one out of every five inhabitants is a student.

Overview

University College Dublin is Ireland’s largest and most richly diversified university. UCD traces its origins to the Catholic University of Ireland, founded in 1854 by Cardinal John Henry Newman, author of the celebrated text “The Idea of a University”. The UCD’s key initiatives include providing a top-notch education with the resources, programming, training opportunities and innovation needed to be a leading institution in Europe.

With over 23,000 students UCD offers over 70 degree courses and doctoral degrees in seven different practice areas. The 320 acre campus provides a unique mix of academic facilities, research institutes, library and archival collections. UCD is rich in tradition and scholarship and situated just 5km outside the city center, one of Europe's fastest growing cosmopolitan urban areas.

UCD is Ireland's University of first choice, leading in first-preference applications in Ireland year after year; as well as being the university of first choice for international students coming to Ireland. The role of UCD within Irish higher education is underscored by the fact that UCD alone accounts for over 30% of international students, over 25% of all graduate students and almost 28% of all doctoral enrolments across the seven Irish universities.

The Culture

Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, enjoys one of the best settings of any European city. Stretching around the wide expanse of Dublin Bay, few parts of the city are far from the sights and smells of the sea, while many center-city streets seem to end in a vista of mountains.

Dublin was originally a Viking settlement known as Dyflin, the Black Pool. Being the principal city of Ireland for most of its thousand-year history, Dublin experienced a period of rapid expansion in the eighteenth century when it attained the status of one of Europe's great cities, replete with magnificent squares and stately public buildings.

Small by present-day international standards, Dublin nevertheless has the resources of a capital city with a full and varied cultural and intellectual life. Both the National Museum and the National Gallery are conveniently located in the city center. In the work of its writers, playwrights, actors, and musicians Dublin is exceptional. It is renowned particularly for its theatrical life. It boasts established theatres (such as the Abbey and the Gate) and small experimental theatres, like Trinity’s Players. In the literary field the contribution of Dubliners has been outstanding. Jonathan Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett are only some of the most prominent names. A particular feature of Dublin life is the tradition of live music. From street busking, to the National Concert Hall, to the singing pubs, traditional music still lives and flourishes.

Dublin, with one of the youngest populations of any of Europe’s major cities, offers an unusually congenial atmosphere for students. While the economic upsurge of recent years has brought a proliferation of fashionable boutiques and expensive restaurants, there’s a profusion of second-hand bookshops, street markets, fast food outlets and ethnic eateries of all kinds, many located in the revitalized Temple Bar opposite the front entrance to the College.

The weather in Ireland is neither too hot nor too cold. The average temperature is about 50° F and, although time may change, it is rarely extreme.

In spring (February to April), the average of the highest temperatures is between 46 and 54° F, and April is considered especially pleasant. In summer (from May to July), the average of the highest temperatures is 64 to 68° F. In the summer months, July and August, there are about 18 hours of sunlight and dusk only after 11 o'clock at night. Therefore the well-known expression in Ireland: "Sure there's a grand stretch in the evenings" (certainly there will be plenty of time at night).

Exchange program: https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/education/exchange-programs/

Master's program: https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/education/masters-programmes

The Culture

Tilburg is the Netherlands' sixth largest city, located in the Province of Brabant. Its population is just over 205,000 and it’s located about 1.5 hours by train from Amsterdam, 2 hours by train from Brussels.

The city grew up around a confluence of herding roads, which carried the great flocks of Dutch sheep to and from the pasturelands. Laborers, tradesmen, and manufacturers built their homes along these connecting roads, ultimately shaping the town. Wool was the city’s primary industry for centuries. By 1881 Tilburg had over 145 wool mills and was a chief exporter of raw materials for weavers. Wool remained vital to the city until its collapse in the 1960s.

Fortunately, the University of Tilburg was growing and expanding around the same time, and it began to contribute to modern intellectual society. In 1962 the University of Tilburg moved its campus west of the city center so it would have more area to expand. This also allowed for modern business development in the vacated factory grounds. The city shifted to a knowledge-based economy, which continues to bolster business in Tillburg through numerous collaborations with the city’s universities.

Most of the shops, hotels, restaurants, and cafes are conveniently located in the city center not far from the University campus and there are a number of unique neighborhood events such as the Art in Open Space, which provides for artworks throughout the city.

The Culture

Barcelona is the capital and the most populous city of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain. The urban area of Barcelona extends beyond the administrative city and is the sixth-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 5 million people live in the Barcelona metropolitan area. It is also Europe's largest metropolis on the Mediterranean coast.

Barcelona is recognized as a Global City due to its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is in addition the most popular tourist destination in Spain (receiving over 5 million tourists every year). Barcelona is the 15th most livable city in the World according to lifestyle magazine Monocle. Transportation to and from includes Barcelona international airport, an extensive motorway network and is a hub of high-speed rail, particularly that which will link France with Spain and later Portugal.

Founded as a Roman city, Barcelona became the capital of the Counts of Barcelona. After merging with the Kingdom of Aragon, it became one of the most important cities of the Crown of Aragon. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona is today an important cultural centre and has a rich cultural heritage. Particularly renowned are architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner that have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city is well known in recent times for the 1992 Summer Olympics.

As the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona houses the seat of the Catalan government, known as the Generalitat de Catalunya; of particular note are the executive branch, the parliament, and the Supreme Court of Catalonia. The city is also the capital of the Province of Barcelona and the Barcelonès comarca (shire). Barcelona was always the stronghold of Catalan separatism and was the center of the Catalan Revolt (1640–52) against Philip IV of Spain.

The resistance of Barcelona to Franco's coup d'état was to have lasting effects after the defeat of the Republican government. The autonomous institutions of Catalonia were abolished and the use of the Catalan language in public life was suppressed. Barcelona remained the second largest city in Spain, at the heart of a region which was relatively industrialized and prosperous, despite the devastation of the civil war. The result was a large-scale immigration from poorer regions of Spain (particularly Andalucia, Murcia and Galicia), which in turn led to rapid urbanization.
