Virtual Orientation Days for International Students
Every semester the International Relations Office holds an orientation programme especially for incoming international students. The orientation is designed to acquaint you with the university and help you settle into life in Heidelberg.
You will receive general information on studying at Heidelberg University as well as its various facilities (institutes, libraries, cafeterias, etc.). You will also receive important information about the formalities connected with your stay in Heidelberg (reporting your residence, residence permit etc.).
Were you unable to attend? On this page, we have summarised the most important topics from the orientation days for the 2025/26 winter semester for you. You will find information on each topic in the form of flyers, leaflets or websites. In addition, you will find PDF files of the presentations given during each event under the individual programme items.
