What exactly is the Humboldt Haus?

The Humboldt Haus is the international community center of RWTH Aachen University - a meeting place for international and local members of the University and a site for intercultural events. The University's interculturalism and internationality are promoted through the Humboldt Haus, contributing to the University's welcoming culture. Numerous events, seminars, trainings, and courses for all students and other members of RWTH Aachen University are held here. The Humboldt Haus is managed by an employee of RWTH Aachen University's International Office. Aside from the International Office, the AStA Representative for Internationals or AV has their office at the Humboldt Haus. They regularly offer advisory services. There is another office available for use by international student initiatives.

 

You want to meet new people

As a meeting place and event location for international/intercultural events, the Humboldt Haus offers a large and diverse program for RWTH Aachen students. The events are offered by international student organizations, the RWTH Aachen International Office, and other RWTH institutions. Here you can find the International Office's events. Events organized by student initiatives can be found on their respective websites and social media channels.

You want to get involved

The international student organizations offers diverse opportunities to get involved. Just like the local student initatives, the international student initiatives are accredited and managed by the Support for Student Initiatives Office, which is currently located in the International Office. You can see the section "Activities and Leisure Time" and the AstA website for more information. Those students wishing to take part in a student initiative can contact these offices directly and take part in their activities.

If you wish to register your own student initiative at RWTH Aachen University, you can submit an application to the University for accreditation as a student initiative. See the Guide on how to accredit international student initiatives at RWTH for further information on how to do this.
