Student Services
The International Office assists students from partner institutions in finding suitable accommodation in the vicinity of the university. Whenever possible, students are allocated a room in the university's student halls. All students have access to a constantly up-dated database listing furnished and reasonably-priced apartments which they can rent. Heilbronn University welcomes students who have special needs. The International Office is pleased to assist them individually.
Studying in a foreign country can be a challenging endeavour especially for those students who are not fluent in German. Heilbronn University therefore provides German classes at elementary, intermediate and advanced levels throughout the year at low or no cost.
In additional, there is offered the following support:
- student mentors (on request),
- free membership in faculty-based student organisations,
- detailed advice on handling residence permits and opening their own bank account,
- guided tours to sites of particular interest,
- on-campus German classes,
- assistance in finding work placements and temporary jobs,
- preferential access to cultural events (concerts, theatres, museums),
- access to the universities library services and the internet,
- information on the scholarships available to international students.
