Course Recognition
A major hurdle in facilitating the exchange process is making sure the credits you receive abroad transfer to your home university. As part of our student services, the International Office provides you with easy access to some valuable course transfer information. To help give exchange students an idea about where courses might be transferable into Humboldt's listing, the following list offers the syllabi for many of our most popular and well attended general courses.
Please note that these documents are in no way binding. They should simply serve as a guide to how an outside course equates to our curriculum.

Press release from the HRK-Newsflash (Oct. 2010):
Good Practice Beispiel Bologna: Humboldt-Universität Berlin
"Transparent und eindeutig ist das Verfahren, das an der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität Berlin zur Anerkennung von ausländischen Studienleistungen entwickelt wurde. „Unser Verfahren erleichtert Studierenden die Planung von Auslandsaufenthalten während des Bachelorstudiums“, erklärt Sibylle Schmerbach, Prodekanin für Studium und Lehre. So wurden im Wahlpflichtbereich flexible Module zu den Bereichen Betriebswirtschaftslehre, Volkswirtschaftslehre und quantitativ-methodische Grundlagen aufgenommen. Hier können die an anderen Hochschulen erbrachten Leistungen unbürokratisch eingeordnet und anerkannt werden. Ein beispielhafter Studienverlaufsplan zeigt zudem die idealen Mobilitätsfenster. Mithilfe dieser Maßnahmen konnte an der Fakultät die Zahl der Bachelorstudierenden, die über das Programm ERASMUS ins Ausland gingen, innerhalb von zwei Jahren um 57 Prozent gesteigert werden."
