Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany

Humboldt University of Berlin was founded in 1810 and is part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative. In 2012 it was named as Germany’s ‘University of Excellence.’ It has educated 40 Nobel Prize winners and is one of the most prestigious higher education institutions in Europe, particularly for arts and humanities.
