Humboldt Perspectives Study Abroad (HPSA) is the perfect program for anyone who wants to study abroad for a few months and acquire specialist knowledge, a research-oriented approach and intercultural skills. The program is inspired by the brothers Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt, who believed that traveling and thinking outside the box are essential prerequisites for research and teaching. All courses ...

  • are taught in English
  • are designed at Bachelor level
  • are open to students of all disciplines
  • offer an interdisciplinary approach to a variety of current topics related to Berlin, Germany and Europe
  • are research-oriented and give students space to develop their own questions and topics and work on them independently
  • rely on interactive and discussion-based teaching and learning methods that incorporate the different backgrounds and experiences of the students
  • include excursions in Berlin, so that theory and reading are connected and linked to concrete places and history


The accompanying intercultural training is an integral part of the program and students can take additional German courses if required. You can look forward to a community of students from all over the world who will broaden their horizons together and develop new perspectives on their host and home countries!
