Exchange students can choose courses on the Bachelor level (in English and German) or Master level (in English and German). Please ask your home university about the courses that they will accept. You will have full access to all of the courses listed in our department’s course list no matter the field or level you are enrolled at.

It is typical in the first few weeks that courses can change their room location or time in which they take place (without much notice). It is important to attend your first class, because this is often where course changes are announced. Please regularly check your inbox and notifications on ILIAS / SPlan (timetable) as well.

You may notice that some courses are denoted as “Block Courses”. These are classes that usually occur on the weekends or take place during the course of several hours on Fridays and Saturday, and run at a very fast pace, but only for a limited amount (for example 2 weekends). They carry the same amount of credit as the regular courses and also cover the same material.

Please be advised that course changes are usually permitted during the first two weeks of classes. Before changing your courses, please check with your advisor at your home univer- sity about the change and also make sure to let your professor know that you are leaving his course.

If you are interested in taking German or English, do not miss the language placement exams (taking place during the orientation week). If the language course takes place in Heilbronn please, ask the international office about the details. Once your language level has been de- termined, please refrain from making changes to your courses by switching to a higher or lower level without first consulting with the professor/teacher. Moreover, the University offers some additional courses such as Spanish, French, Arabic or Russian that are available for you to take. Please note that some level of German is required.

After your last semester as a student at Heilbronn University, a certificate listing all the courses you have taken will be checked, signed and send to the International Office of your home uni- versity.
