NYU financial aid can be applied to the costs of living and studying at any of these exchange institutions, and NYU academic credit is awarded directly for courses taken. Students may study abroad for one semester or a full year, usually in the junior year, with the approval of the major department(s) and the assistant dean for international study.

NYU IN BERLIN (SUMMER PROGRAM) At NYU in Berlin, students experience a cosmopolitan city that holds a complex and crucial place in modern European history. This history ranges from Berlin modernity before World War I through the cultural avant-garde of the golden 1920s -- the Weimar Republic -- to the epicenter of World War II; from a divided city, symbolizing and incorporating the Cold War, to the reunified and renewed capital. NYU in Berlin aims to provide its students with the means of understanding German culture and history within the context of lived experience. All classes include fieldwork or walking tours throughout the city, be it a visit to the film museum in Potsdam, an examination of the new experimental architecture at Potsdamer Platz, or an exploration of the literary and artistic underground scene in Prenzlauer Berg. Excursions include day trips to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, the historic palace city of Potsdam, the nearby Babelsberg film studios, and Dresden. There is a weekend trip to Prague. Students can enroll in both culture courses (in English) and German language courses. Offerings include: Elementary German I, Intermediate German I, Berlin: The City, Topics in German Cinema, and Topics in 20th-Century German Literature: Berlin in and as Literature. NYU in Berlin is affiliated with Humboldt University. This preeminent university is located in the historic heart of Berlin at the avenue Unter den Linden.
