This Course Guide is the result of continuous monitoring and evaluation of a collaborative course, conducted as a combined seminar and field trip between Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU-B, Germany) and University of Vienna (UniVie, Austria). The course was initiated and designed as part of the Circle U. European University Alliance and brought together 22 undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Geography Departments of HU-B and UniVie during summer term 2025. The intended readers of this Course Guide are primarily university lecturers, who consider developing or are already designing field trip courses with a comparative perspective. The Course Guide can also be useful for other (Circle U.) courses, as it includes pedagogical and organizational considerations and ideas for designing, planning, implementing and evaluating collaborative and comparative courses more broadly.
