Berlin Science

Overview

Berlin has been home to Alexander von Humboldt, Max Planck, Albert Einstein and many other names representing a great scientific tradition.  Today, with countless universities and scientific institutions, Berlin’s reputation as a capital of science is well-deserved.

It is an excellent destination for Biology, Chemistry or Combined Science trips. There is a wide range of museums and guided tours, which are well complemented by practical workshops at Campus Berlin-Buch’s dedicated labs for secondary schools.
