Study Abroad @ TU-Berlin

Over the Summer of 2025, I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Berlin, Germany at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin). During my time in Berlin, I took four classes, traveled around Germany, and got to experience what it is like to live like a local Berliner. Below you will find more information on the classes that I took, my experiences with traveling, and the main takeaways that I got from this opportunity.

As mentioned above, I took four courses during my time in Berlin. All of the courses either adjusted the curriculum to include Berlin elements or developed some of the projects to relate to typical Berlin motifs. Two of the courses were computer science courses, and the other two were humanities courses. Even though the humanities courses were not directly related to my major, I found them extremely interesting and a different kind of challenge compared to my normal coursework. Through the group projects in each course I reinforced my interpersonal skills by developing a positive work environment for the group. Additionally, due to the differences in everyone's travel schedule, it was a unique challenge to coordinate group meetings and deadlines for intermediate parts of each project. Ultimately, I was successfully able to navigate the nuanced difficulty of the abroad experience, and ended each course with an A, and some pretty cool projects.

In each drop-down below you can read a little bit more about the content of each course, and the kinds of things that I was doing in each of them.

In addition to my coursework, I also took advantage of the long weekends built into our schedule to take a tour around Germany and the surrounding countries.
