Free University of Berlin Germany
The Freie Universität Berlin ("Free University of Berlin") is the largest of the four research universities in Berlin, Germany. Research at the university is focused on the humanities and social sciences, as well as on health and natural sciences. Founded in West Berlin during the early Cold War period and born out of the increasingly Communist-controlled Humboldt University, its name refers to West Berlin's status as part of the free world, as opposed to the Soviet-occupied areas surrounding the city.
The Freie Universität Berlin was one of nine German top-universities (also known as elite universities) to win in the German Universities Excellence Initiative, a national competition for universities organized by the German Federal Government. Winning a distinction for five doctoral programs, three interdisciplinary research clusters (some of them in cooperation with other universities) and its overall institutional strategy, the Freie Universität Berlin was the single most successful university in the initiative. In university rankings, the Freie Universität Berlin ranks among the best German universities; it has established a strong international showing in the Arts & Humanities followed by the Social Sciences, making it one of Europe's top institutions in these fields.
Excluding the Charité medical school which is co-administered by the university with the Humboldt University, the Freie Universität is currently the lead university for eight collaborative research centres of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and also has five DFG research units. Fourteen scholars of the Freie Universität have to date been awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the DFG - the most acclaimed award for research achievements in Germany.
Freie Universitaet Berlin is one of the leading universities in Germany and distinguishes itself through its modern and international character. In university rankings Freie Universitaet places among the best universities. According to the internationally relevant ranking of The Times Higher Education Supplement, the humanities at Freie Universitaet are the best in Germany. The Funding Rankings of the German Research Foundation DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemein- schaft) place the humanities at Freie Universitaet in first place and the natural sciences in fourth place.
Freie Universitaet is also one of the largest universities in Germany, offering degree courses in about 100 subjects for 34,000 students - of whom 15 per cent come from other countries. For many foreign scholars, such as fellows of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Freie Universität is the university of preference for their stay in Germany.
Without including Medicine, Freie Universitaet is currently lead university for seven collaborative research centers of the German Research Foundation DFG and also has four DFG research units. In addition, because of the wide variety of subjects it offers, Freie Universitaet has three collaborative research centers in the humanities and social sciences. Fourteen scholars of Freie Universitaet have to date been awarded a Leibniz Prize of the DFG, the most important German prize for research achievements. With the amount of 60 million euros of external funding acquired each year, Freie Universitaet canvasses a significant proportion of its income from third-party funds.

Oh, yes! I have heard a lot about this place. I am keeping myself a lot very busy in practicing MBE Practice Questions as I want to clear this exam in the very first attempt. I wish to study in this university not only because it’s free but it actually imparts great knowledge to students.
