Hinweis zur Einreisebeschränkung in China

Die Corona-Einreiseregelungen von Festland-China sind seit dem 8. Januar 2023 geändert. Einreisende aller Nationalitäten werden gefordert, ein negatives PCR-Testergebnis innerhalb von 48 Stunden vor Abflugzeit vorzulegen. Dieselbe gilt für Einreisende über dritte Transitländer. Eine Voranmeldung mit dem Testergebnis ist für alle Einreisende erforderlich. Bei einem negativen Ergebnis wird normale Grenzkontrolle durchgeführt; bei einem positiven Ergebnis dürfen Einreisende direkt weiter an den Zielort hinfahren und dort eine häusliche Quarantäne machen. Obwohl die Corona-Maßnahmen in Festland-China gelockert werden, gelten derzeit noch Beschränkungen. Bitte informieren Sie sich immer über die region-spezifischen Regelungen, die variieren und kurzfristig geändert werden können. Weitere Informationen erfahren Sie auf der Seite des Auswärtigen Amts und der Botschaft der Volksrepublik China in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

As part of an exchange program with Peking University, two places are available for Heidelberg students. Peking University (often referred to by the Chinese as the Harvard of China) is one of the two best universities in the People's Republic of China and offers a wide range of subjects. With more than six million works, the library is the largest in Asia. Students of all subjects (except medicine) with very good Chinese language skills can apply. The language of instruction is largely Chinese, with some subjects also offered in English. Chinese courses can be attended during the course of study.

Important note for applicants: Peking University does not accept students with Chinese nationality in its exchange programs. Therefore, Heidelberg students with a Chinese passport cannot apply for the exchange with Peking University.
