Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies
The Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS) is jointly run by FU and HU. It is part of the Berliner Antike-Kolleg, preceded and further developed by the Excellence Cluster Topoi. A unique feature is its close cooperation with four prestigious non-university research institutions on site: the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the German Archaeological Institute, the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, and the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
The language of instruction is predominantly German with some English.
