Applying to Heidelberg University
Applications are made through the university’s own admissions channel, or through a national application platform where Germany operates one. Applications may be made directly to institutions or through national admission platforms, depending on the country and level of study.
Entry requirements, tuition fees, application deadlines and English-language minimums differ by course and change every year. We do not republish them here, because an out-of-date figure is worse than none — read them on the university’s admissions pages before you apply.
