Study carrels for HU exam candidates
Application for a study carrel at Grimm-Zentrum
Applications for study carrels are currently suspended.
When a new application phase starts, we will inform you about our latest news.
The following are frequently asked questions about our study carrels for HU exam candidates:
When are the calls for applications for a study carrel and how are they advertised?
Calls for applications for a study carrel are made several times a year. After the call you can apply using the online form. We also provide information about the calls and the activation of the online form via webnews.
Who can apply for a study carrel at Grimm-Zentrum and what should be considered?
Only HU students who are writing their final thesis in one of the subjects covered by the Grimm-Zentrum (see list of subjects below left) can apply. The main subject must be included in this list.
As proof of the final thesis to be written, we need the confirmation of the examination office or your supervising professor. For this purpose, the "winners" will automatically be sent a ready-made form for the supervisors. This confirmation must be available before the keys are handed over.
For each thesis (bachelor thesis, master thesis etc.) a study carrel can only be used once (i.e. max. 8 weeks).
Students of other subjects are requested to use the respective local libraries.
For doctoral students, the Humboldt Graduate School offers temporary working places.
When and how do I find out after the application whether I will receive a study carrel?
Shortly after the application phase you will receive an e-mail from us and will be asked to submit the required documents (confirmation from the examination office/supervising professor) by e-mail in a timely manner.
If you are no longer interested in a study carrel, please let us know immediately so that we can immediately inform other applicants.
Which media can I use in the study carrel?
You can use all media available in the library. However, we kindly ask you to borrow the books in question properly and to mark them with a receipt. Reference stocks may only be taken into the study carrel for short-term use. Please put these holdings back onto the book trolleys every day when you leave the carrel so that other users have the opportunity to read these books. Of course, you may also store personal items in the study carrel, but unfortunately the library cannot accept any liability for this. The carrels are regularly checked for improperly borrowed media.
What should I do if I no longer need the study carrel?
At the end of the period of use, the study carrel should be available to the next user as soon as possible. We therefore ask you to clear the carrel completely and leave it so that it can be used again.
What do I do if I have lost the key to my study carrel?
Please inform the service desk immediately, then we will clear the carrel to prevent abuse. For security reasons, the lock must be replaced. The costs for the exchange have to be paid in full by the borrower of the carrel.
