EU/EEA CITIZENS OR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS WITH A GERMAN UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE QUALIFICATION TRANSFER STUDENTS: SUBJECTS WITHOUT ADMISSION RESTRICTIONS 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.
Application for Change of University
In order to apply for a transfer, international applicants must submit an application via the heiCO-portal to Heidelberg University. The application deadlines constitute a statutory cut-off period.
It is strongly recommended that applicants who would like to change their university contact the respective academic advisory service at Heidelberg University regarding the curriculum, required course assessments and offered courses prior to submitting an application. Students changing universities within Germany may only be granted admission to the next higher academic semester.
Certificate of Transferable Grades
Students who intend to transfer from a university outside of Germany must include in their application a notice of recognition of credits earned and a recommendation for placement in a higher semester. Requests for the transfer of credits may be submitted to the examination office for the particular subject (central state examination office or Heidelberg University examination office).
