A minimum of 80% class attendance (including the excursions) is required. Failure to fulfil one of the mentioned components results in failure of the class.

Expectations & Policies Preparation for lively discussions in the classroom: be on time, have at least the required readings completed and points in mind for discussion or clarification. Assignments: complete all assignments according to the specified requirements on schedule including handing over to the lecturer. Commitment in class: pay particular attention to the lecturer and respect differences of opinions (classmates’, lecturers, locals engaged with on the visits). Academic guidelines: Comply with academic integrity policies (such as no plagiarism or cheating, nothing unethical), especially the academic honour code and the student code of conduct (see FAQs on www.huwisu.de). Attendance policy: No unexcused absences are permitted. Students must contact their class teachers to catch up on missed work – to excuse absence please contact the HUWISU office (80% class attendance are required). Field trips: if classes involve a field trip or other external visits, these require attendance as well as appearance in time – transportation difficulties are never valid reasons for an excused absence.

Cultural Extra-curricular Activities HUWISU offers a fine selection of interesting extra-curricular activities and aims to give all participants an unforgettable stay in Berlin. Your program includes excursions, sport activities and social gatherings providing you the opportunity to get to know the city, the university and your classmates better and to meet students from all parts of the world. The costs for these offers are included in the course fees. Below you will find examples of previously offered cultural activities. You will be informed about the respective cultural program after your enrolment via email as well as during the course period. Political and historical guided tours: • Federal Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt): It’s the central coordination point for the entire government policy. The office is in constant contact to departments and other authorities. • German Parliament (Bundestag): As the highest organ of the legislative in Germany it’s elected by the German people. In practice Germany is governed by a bicameral legislature, of which the Bundestag serves as the lower house and the Bundesrat equals the upper house. • House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus): It’s the state parliament (Landtag) of Berlin and located in the center of the reunified city. Together with the Martin Gropius Bau, the Topography of Terror and the Bundesrat, it presents an arresting contrast to the flair of the new Potsdamer Platz. • Topography of Terror: A permanent exhibition with focus on the central institutions of the SS and police during the “Third Reich” and the crimes they committed throughout Europe. With the help of mostly photographic material, visitors are led through the major themes of the exhibition’s five main segments. • Political Archive: As the “memory” of the Federal Foreign Office it preserves the files on German diplomacy since 1867, as well as the international treaties signed by the Federal Republic of Germany and its predecessors in title. The records are preserved, processed and made available for academic research. Cultural guided tours: • Kreuzberg Tour: Kreuzberg has emerged from its history as one of the poorest quarters in Berlin in the late 1970s to a cultural center of today’s Berlin. A unique area and one of the hippest neighbourhoods in Berlin with many bars, pubs and clubs. • Berlin’s Museum Island (Museumsinsel): was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status in 1999 and is an ensemble of five museums: Old Museum, New Museum, Old National Gallery, Pergamon Museum and Bode Museum. • Berliner Dom: Berlin´s largest and most important Protestant church is located on the Museum Island. • Daytrip to Potsdam: Be inspired by the illustrious attractions of the UNESCO’s World Heritage while underway through the city of Potsdam. Immerse yourself in the history and present of Potsdam and discover many palaces, gardens, and historic quarters such as the “Holländisches Viertel” or the “Nikolaikirche”. • Exhibitions: Berlin is known for its unique galleries and exhibitions, that is why we will visit at least one during the Winter University. Social gatherings • Welcome Get-Together: We invite you to meet all participants as well as the HUWISU staff in a relaxed atmosphere. • Boat trip: Get to know Berlin from a completely new perspective and see Berlin’s famous sights while floating along the river Spree. • Beach Volleyball: A fun outdoor sport activity on long warm summer evenings for those who love to play and everyone who just want to enjoy watching the others play, lying in the sand, meet friends for some drinks, or simply relax in the middle of Berlin. • Biergarten: You can´t leave Berlin without having experienced a Biergarten. The perfect place to finish off your busy day with a cool “Feierabend” drink. • Farewell Party: At the end of the Summer University we will come together to celebrate the exciting time with HUWISU.
