offers 30 "Berlin Scholarships" for the academic year 2008/2009 with the support of the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future".
The Programm "Berlin Scholarships" allows international students to study for one year at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin or at one of its partner institutions: Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Universität der Künste Berlin, and Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin.
Along with their studies in Berlin, the scholarship holders will work together in small groups on a project with the topic "Comparing histories”. The project will be supervised academically in a seminar held once or twice a month.
Scholarship holders will be able to carry out their study proposals within two semesters by attending courses at one of the universities in Berlin. The study proposals should be developed according to the home university’s academic requirements.
The program will start on September 1, 2008 and last until July 31, 2009. and the topic of the year 2008/09 will be "Comparing histories".
