In recent months, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) has launched a number of initiatives enabling refugees to access the university:
As of this winter semester, refugees may join HU as guest students at no charge and attend standard lectures and teaching sessions. Both Academic Affairs and the International Office provide advice to refugees on options for commencing or continuing a regular study programme. Since September 2015, weekly multilingual advice sessions have been held in German, English, Arabic and Farsi for refugees interested in studying. Academics at the HU are looking at the topic of exodus in various projects and initiatives.
