Description Humboldt-University

"Two hundred years ago, in 1810, Wilhelm von Humboldt's vision of a new type of university became reality. The newly founded Prussian alma mater was the first to introduce the unity of research and teaching, to uphold the ideal of research without restrictions and to provide a comprehensive education for its students. These principles of Wilhelm von Humboldt and a select group of contemporaries soon became general practice throughout the world. A new era of university and academic research had begun.

(...) Humboldt-Universität is one of the leading German universities as far as internationalisation is concerned. For example, 15 % of its student body comes from abroad, it conducts the largest Eastern Partnership Programme of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and boasts over 100 DAAD scholarship holders. In total more than a thousand students complement their studies abroad every year, and about 1,500 international students spend periods of their studies at HU."
