German citizensProcedure for subjects with nationwide admission restrictions

All applications for degree programmes with nationwide admission restrictions must be made at hochschulstart.de.
Please note that admission to degree programmes in Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry at Heidelberg University will only be granted for the winter semester. For these programmes, the closing dates for applications at the Foundation for University Admission (Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung) are 15 July for applicants who obtained their university entrance qualification after 15 January of the same year (“school leavers”), or 31 May for applicants who obtained their university entrance qualification prior to or on 15 January of the same year. In the case of applications for a second degree, the time of completion of the first degree course applies. More information regarding the documents required may be obtained from the Foundation for University Admission (Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung). 

In Baden-Württemberg, 75 study places in human medicine will be awarded to applicants each year if they commit themselves to working as a rural doctor for a fixed period of time following their studies. With this measure - the so-called rural doctor quota (Landarztquote) - the state government of Baden-Württemberg wants to improve the level of general practitioner care in rural areas.
Please note the special application deadlines in this quota!

The medical faculties in Heidelberg and Mannheim have established a telephone hotline to provide personalised counselling on the university selection procedure (“Auswahlverfahren der Hochschulen - AdH”) (for Medicine and Dentistry). The Heidelberg faculty also provides information on the test required for applicants to medical degree programmes.

All degree programmes at Heidelberg University have specific admission and degree requirements. Depending on the specific nature of your university entrance qualification, there may be restrictions on the range of subjects you will be able to study. In addition to this, there may be subject-specific application and submission deadlines or mandatory aptitude tests. Applicants may also be required to submit additional, specific documents as part of the application procedure for certain degree programmes.
