EU/EEA CITIZENS AND INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS WITH A GERMAN UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE QUALIFICATIONENROLMENT IN THE FIRST SEMESTER

Depending on the application and admission procedure for your desired degree programme, you are required to submit an application to Heidelberg University prior to the application deadline.

International students who have been admitted to study at Heidelberg University must must apply for enrolment by the deadline specified in the letter of admission. Enrolment takes place digitally via the heiCO portal and in writing.
If the letter of admission requires successful participation in an examination procedure, the respective examination (e.g. German language test for the admission to universities - DSH) must be passed with the specified score. If the examination is not passed, or if the minimum required score is not achieved, and you have not been granted an official exemption, you will not be permitted to enrol in the degree programme specified in the letter of admission.
Because the information pertaining to EU/EEA citizens and international applicants with a German university entrance qualification (so-called “"Bildungsinländer”) differs in some points, we have provided the information here in two separate sections. 

If you are already enrolled at Heidelberg University, you are not required to re-enrol. Instead, you must go to the Administrative Office for International Students where your change of degree programme can be registered. 
Before applying for a change of degree programme, you are strongly advised to discuss this with the student advisory services for international students (room 30).
