(Leisure) activities at the HU

In addition to the day-to-day university activities, Humboldt-Universität offers a wide range of opportunities to visit interesting events, take part in sports courses, or make use of your musical talents. This page offers a sample list of the available services. If you have a specific interest, you should enquire directly with International Scholar Services as to whether there is an active university group for this interest at HU.
 
International Scholars Events
Each year during the winter semester, the International Scholar Services invite newly arrived international scholars to a Welcome Reception through the university president. Additionally, smaller events, such as tours, info-afternoons and a visit to the Christmas market, take place throughout the year.
