Studying at the IÜD
Departmental Coordinators
| The Institute for Translation and Interpreting (IÜD) here at the University of Heidelberg is the perfect choice for students of translation and interpreting looking to study abroad in Germany. Ever since its founding in 1930, the IÜD has established and maintained close contacts with an increasing number of international partner universities; we place great importance on supervising exchange students and helping them integrate into university life. Almost 20% of the university's student body is comprised of foreign students from 130 different countries, with a large proportion of the faculty also coming from abroad; this global influence fosters an open-minded, international atmosphere in Heidelberg. |
