Matriculation

Research interns will be enrolled at Humboldt-University as international students during their research stay. A proper matriculation will provide the intern with the status of an international student at Humboldt-University, which directly affects the nature of the visa application and the required insurance coverage. This should be taken into account when preparing the research stay.

On a related note, it should be pointed out that the full amount for matriculation must be paid for only when enrolling for a full semester at Humboldt-University. Interns who arrive and/ or leave during the running semester must pay a proportion of the full amount. To give an idea what the process of enrolling specifically amounts to: the matriculation fee for the winter semester 2014/15 was 293,17€.

After having enrolled at Humboldt-University successfully, interns will receive a student ID which also serves as their ticket for public transport in and around Berlin. The process of matriculation also allows prospective interns to attend subject-related courses and to make use of the universities’ facilities, such as the extensive holdings of various specialist libraries or the IT-support.

However, in light of limited capacities in the respective departments, prospective interns are advised to check with the International Office whether these benefits can actually be offered to them.
