Events for Study Orientation
Mentoring- und Buddyprogramme
Starting at university is often an exciting time for new students, and it also has its challenges. This is even more so the case for international students. The various mentoring and buddy programmes offered by Heidelberg University connect you with another student who can support you by answering any questions you might have, and giving you useful tips.
Orientation offer
Orientation test: was-studiere-ich.de
With this self-test you can find out which courses of study might suit your interests and abilities. Participation in a study orientation test is a prerequisite for admission to all undergraduate courses at the University of Heidelberg. However, the test results do not have any effect on the chance of obtaining a place, but only serve your own orientation.
