Humboldt University - HUB Speciality : Modern Languages
programme: British Studies

Studying at Humboldt University has been a great experience, mainly because of how international and diverse it is. I’ve met people from all over the world, and it’s been amazing to exchange ideas and learn from different perspectives. The mix of cultures and backgrounds makes discussions super interesting, and it’s definitely helped me see things in a more global way.

In my opinion, Humboldt is a great university with excellent infrastructure and a lot of benefits for the students. A very affordable semester fee is charged which also includes the public transportation ticket, allowing the students to move freely around Berlin. I’ve also taken part in languages courses offered by the university, which were good and also affordable. One thing I didn’t like was the curriculum of my course but nothing related to the University structure. In general, I would definitely recommend Humboldt.

It could have been better in terms of the weekly schedule and the content of the lessons. Some courses’ aim is not really clear and it’s a little bit of everything so, background information could be given better.

I liked the multidisciplinary approach. But I did not like the curriculum and the staff attitude. I enjoyed the central location and the classrooms and the toilets. I would not recommend it to people who want to have a literature degree.

My program’s (British Studies M.A.) scope embraces a very interdisciplinary approach in education. My classmates are coming from all around the world, having varying backgrounds and morals. So one can not feel alienated here, especially in this program. University campus is huge but to be able to join and more active one need to be bold, curious and enthusiastic plus willing to learn. In general, all programs here requires first individual work then teamwork, more than listening to the professors and taking notes only. University has lots of opportunities for students, especially international ones but since the number of them is enormous it’s very hard to enrol or participate. Also some of the classes, at least in my program feel like recurring itself in some cases (having 3 classes about politics
