    About Humboldt University Berlin in Germany

    Established in 1810, Humboldt University Berlin is a public university located in Berlin, Germany. It has a global ranking of 120 for the year 2024 according to QS World University Rankings’ website.With a broad range of degree programs, it offers a unique academic and culturally immersive experience for international students.
    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 an "Universitas litterarum" which would achieve a unity of teaching and research and provide students with an all-around 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 new disciplines. The chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann, the physicist Hermann von Helmholtz, the mathematicians Ernst Kummer, Leopold Kronecker, Karl Theodor Weierstrass (the "triple star of Mathematics"), and the medical scientist's Johannes Miller and Rudolf Virchow became known in their specialist areas far beyond the university in Berlin.
