Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany
4.17 / 5 based on 228 reviews.
Description:
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 a "Universitas litterarum" which would achieve a unity of teaching and research and provide students with an all-round 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.
