German citizensChange of institution: Subjects without admission restrictions in higher semesters

An online application in due form and time is also required for degree programmes without admission restriction in higher semesters.

All students who are or were enrolled at a university in an EU member state and would like to continue to study the same subject at Heidelberg University in a higher academic semester can apply for admission as a transfer student. Students who previously studied the same subject (same name) in Germany or in an EU/EEA country are also considered transfer students.

Admission in the context of transfers (changing universities) can only ever be granted for the academic semester following the current semester in the subject the student applied for. 

Enrolment for courses with no admission restrictions initially takes place online. The application for enrolment (printout of the online registration) and all additional required documentation must be submitted to the Student Administration prior to the deadline for enrolment or, if applicable, uploaded in the heiCO portal. Representation through a proxy is not permitted.
