Humboldt-UniversitĂ€t zu Berlin is a public comprehensive university in the heart of the German capital. Founded in 1810, it is Berlin's oldest university and sees itself as "the modern original": Wilhelm von Humboldt's idea of uniting research and teaching still shapes how you study here. More than 35,000 students and doctoral candidates learn across four campuses – Mitte, Nord, Adlershof, and Dahlem – in nine faculties and over 170 degree programs, ranging from the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies to law, economics, and life sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, and agriculture; medicine is taught at the jointly run CharitĂ©. HU has held University of Excellence status since 2012 and has been part of the Berlin University Alliance, Germany's only excellence consortium, since 2019.
