Introduction programme and German as foreign language

Before lectures start, we offer a free introduction programme. (duration: 1.5 weeks for exchange students from non-European partner universities or 1 week for exchange students from European partner universities)

During the programme, you have the opportunity to become familiar with all the administrative and organizational tasks you will need to take care of (registration at your city of residence, Immigration Department, opening a bank account, semester ticket, enrolment, health insurance). The International Office and some tutors will support you.

Furthermore your study schedule will be organized. You will get to know Heilbronn and can take part in an excursion.

At the beginning of each winter semester we offer a 3-week German intensive course that besides German lessons (50 teaching units and 18 repetition units) also includes an introduction and leisure programme. The intensive course costs 350 Euro.

You can find a more detailed description here: Information on German intensive course. You are awarded 5 ECTS credits for this German intensive course.
