A site visit of Humboldt-Universität
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is a public institution in Germany that was founded in 1810. The university’s campuses include Campus Adlershof, home to the natural sciences; Campus Mitte, where the arts and humanities are based, as well as law, economics and business, and theology; and Campus Nord, the university’s hub for the life sciences. In a recent year, roughly half of the university's students were pursuing bachelor’s degrees. Humboldt-Universität does not charge students for tuition. Instead, students pay a relatively low semester fee, which is generally the case at public universities in Germany. Some student housing is available through Studentenwerk, a public organization that manages various services for university students in the region.The university comprises many academic divisions, including faculties of arts and humanities, economics and business administration, law, life sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, medicine, social sciences and theology. The primary language of instruction at Humboldt-Universität is German, and the university’s academic calendar is semester-based. The university's medical school, Charite – Medical University of Berlin, is jointly operated with the Free University of Berlin. In a recent year, nearly 7,000 students were enrolled at Charite. Humboldt-Universität has cooperation agreements of varying types with more than 190 institutions around the world. For example, the university has teaching and research partnerships with the National University of Singapore, Princeton University in the U.S. and Brazil's Universidade de São Paulo. The university has several major interdisciplinary research centers, such as the August Boeckh Centre for Antiquity and the Georg-Simmel Center for Metropolitan Studies.
