Conquer Berlin from the BWK Campus!
Kreuzberg is the multicultural heart of Berlin. You will learn and live in this bustling neighborhood (the Berliners say “kiez”). From the campus, you can reach many sights on foot. For example, the „Molecule-Man” in the Spree river in front of the Trep Towers, the remains of the Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery, or Mercedes Benz-Arena, with its exciting concerts and sporting events.
And when evening falls, life in Kreuzberg really gets started: The doors of pubs and clubs are open until the early hours of the morning. In the summer everyone meets in the streets, in courtyards, or at the park to chat and party. The perfect training ground for your new language skills!
