　　Established more than 200 years ago, in 1810, the Humboldt University of Berlin is one of the most prestigious universities not only in Germany, but in Europe. It has a world class reputation in arts and humanities fields.

　　Originally known simply as the University of Berlin, it was given its current name in 1949, and is named after both its founder, Wilhelm von Humboldt, and his brother, the esteemed naturalist and alumnus of the institution, Alexander von Humboldt.

　　HU Berlin is recognised as one of Europe’s pioneering higher education institutions. Wilhelm von Humboldt is credited with developing a model for universities that saw a closer relationship between research and teaching - a model that is still followed in higher education institutions across the world today.

　　The institution’s academic clout is evidenced by the fact that it has educated no fewer than 29 Nobel prizewinners, including Max Born, who won the prize for physics in 1954; Theodor Mommsen, who won the prize for for literature in 1902; and Wassily Leontief who won the prize for economics in 1973.

　　In 2006, the federal government’s German Universities Excellence Initiative began allocating additional funding to institutions that proved they were leaders in science and research. In 2012, HU Berlin, was one of 11 institutions to receive this money, enhancing its reputation as one of the country’s elite universities.

　　Among HU Berlin’s famous alumni are Marxism founders Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, as well as novelist Alfred Döblin, and theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher. Composer Felix Mendelssohn was also a student there, while Albert Einstein spent time as a professor at the university.

　　The university was founded in Berlin in 1810, and the foundation concept of Wilhelm von Humboldt gave it the title "Mother of all modern universities". This concept envisaged a "Universitas litterarum" which would achieve a unity of teaching and research and provide students with an all-round humanist education. This concept spread throughout the world and gave rise to the foundation of many universities of the same type over the next century and a half. The concept of the academic and statesman Wilhelm von Humboldt was influenced, among others, by the reform ideas of the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte, the first vice chancellor of the university, and by the theologian and philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher. From the outset, the university in Berlin had the four classical faculties of Law, Medicine, Philosophy and Theology. Its first academic term began with 256 students and 52 teaching staff. Professors such as Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel (Philosophy), Karl Friedrich von Savigny (Law), August Boeckh (Classical Philology), Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland (Medicine) and Albrecht Daniel Thaer (Agriculture), shaped the profile of the individual faculties in accordance with Humboldt's concept. Partly due to the influence of the natural scientist Alexander von Humboldt, the university pioneered the introduction of many...

　　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.
