Berlin (Humboldt University)
Guide for International Students
Like the city itself, this university – named after Wilhelm von Humboldt, a great scholar and reformer of education – has a great deal of exciting things to offer, but you need to give yourself time to navigate it. To start, we recommend all students to take the English-speaking course ‘Berlin Perspectives’. More information on this course is here
For detailed questions on Berlin Perspectives, please contact their team, either via berlinperspectives@hu-berlin.de
Or get in touch with Dr Julia Effertz, at julia.effertz@hu-berlin.de
The other choices (i.e. the remaining 40 or 100 credits) depend on your interests and the availability in a given year. To search for specific courses, you need to know that History [Geschichte] is subordinated to the Faculty of Philosophy in Berlin. It is further subdivided by period, Alte [Ancient]. Neuere [early modern] and Neueste [modern and contemporary]. Please note: to satisfy Sheffield criteria, at least one of your courses must be from the pre-modern period.
A selection of courses is available here.
Note: If you want to enroll in courses in English only, your choices will be more restricted.
For specific questions, please contact the Humboldt Erasmus team by getting in touch with Maria Butzke at erasmus.geschichte@hu-berlin.de

Sciences Po Lyon
Lyon is a medium-sized French city in an ideal location in the south of France, 1.5 h from the Mediterranean and a similar distance from the Alps. The University, Sciences Po, is one of the most renowned institutions in the country. It was founded by Napoleon and today attracts up to 2,000 students pursing interdisciplinary degrees in History, Politics and the social sciences. Please note, however, that there are no courses offered in the history of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This exchange is particularly recommended for Dualists in History and Politics.
For further information, please contact Walburga Puff at the International Relations Office, or Catherine Turban at catherine.turban@sciencespo-lyon.fr.

To discuss the financial implications, please get in touch.

Utrecht is the largest university in Holland, and ranks first in the country and 16th in the world. It also offers over 200 courses in English.
