Assistance and advisory services Services available at the start of your degree course

To all who are starting their studies at Heidelberg University – a warm welcome!

Lots of questions arise at the very beginning of a degree course. How do I plan my classes? What can I do in my free time? Who will help me with all kinds of questions about my programme?

You will get answers in the many information sessions taking place around the start of degree-related activities. These events are mostly in the first two weeks before lectures begin. We wish you a good start at Heidelberg University.
