GERMAN AND INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS Sports aptitude test

In order to study sports/sports sciences at Heidelberg University, applicants must prove successful completion of the sports aptitude test. This applies for all relevant degree programmes without exception.

Applicants applying for their first  academic semester must submit the certificate confirming successful completion of the sports aptitude test, or a letter of exemption, along with his or her application. At the very latest, the certificate or letter of exception must be provided before the application deadline has passed. If an applicant has already begun a sports/sports sciences degree programme at an institution in another federal state for which a similar aptitude test was taken, the applicant must demonstrate successful completion of said test when he or she transfers to Heidelberg. Applicants who find themselves in this situation are strongly advised to contact the Institute of Sports and Sports Sciences. Please note that the sports aptitude test must be held by the Institute of Sports at Heidelberg University. Any exemption must also be issued by this Institute.
