Exchange programsHokkaido University
Within the framework of the cooperation agreement with Hokkaido University (Sapporo), students from Heidelberg have the opportunity to apply for a place at this university.
Except for students majoring in Japanese Studies, the study places are open to students from all subject areas. Studying the same subject as at Heidelberg University depends on the courses the partner university offers and is therefore not guaranteed.
Students of medicine please note:
Unfortunately, the exchange agreements with the partner universities do not refer to the medical faculties. This means that you would be forced to attend courses at other faculties. If this is not a problem for you, we look forward to receiving your applications.
