A second-subject page lists 60 credit points and the core-subject combinations available to students.
- Interdisciplinary elective area https://www.hu-berlin.de/studium/im-studium/ueberfachlicher-wahlpflichtbereich
The university-wide ÜWP page describes an option to individually broaden study content through modules that are not directly tied to the main subject.
The ÜWP catalog includes central institutions, faculties, the language center and other blocks, confirming a broad free-elective route.
- Bachelor study reform notes https://www.hu-berlin.de/de/studium/reform/entwurf_hinweise_ba_ma_2023-05-02.pdf/@@download/file/Entwurf_Hinweise_BA_MA_2023-05-02.pdf
The reform notes show the bachelor structural categories: Kernfach/Monofach and Zweitfach.
For mono- and non-teaching Kombinationsbachelor programmes, the document sets roughly one quarter, or at least one fifth, of study content as individually shaped and freely selected; the subject and interdisciplinary elective areas together make up at least 45 credits.
