Programme for Ukrainian refugee students
Ukrainian refugee students are granted the opportunity to study at HU through a dedicated programme. If you would like to apply, please read on to find out about the process.
As an act of solidarity following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Humboldt-Universität launched a programme allowing refugee students to enroll as exchange students. With this status, students become part of our university and can accumulate ECTS points.
To qualify, students need to be Ukrainian citizens and enrolled at a university in Ukraine, have a valid residence permit in Berlin and demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English or German.
If you would like to apply, please provide the following documents:
- A copy of your passport
- A language certificate (German B1/B2 or English B2). If you don't have a certificate, please use our online test.
- Your residence permit or certificate of application for refugees from Ukraine, including a distribution decision for Berlin from the State Office for Refugee Affairs or confirmation of registration from a Berlin citizens' office.
- An enrollment certificate from your Ukrainian university or notification (dovidka) detailing your university, course of study, and semester.
We will review your documents and get in touch with you about the selection result. If you are accepted into the programme, you will need to pay the HU semester fee (271,90 euro). Regular Erasmus+ conditions apply for students of our partner universities Taras Shevchenko University in Kyiv and Ivan Franko University in Lviv. To find out more, please contact your home university’s International Office.
Please note that exchange students cannot earn a degree at Humboldt-Universität. To do this, it is necessary to enroll as a degree-seeing student.
The application process for the summer semester 2025 is now open, with a deadline of February 28th.
