Campus Schwäbisch Hall

Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences ranks amongst the major institutions for Higher Edu- cation in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1961 as a School of Engineering in Heilbronn, it was awarded its current University status in 1971. It now caters for approximately 8,300 degree-seeking students in four campuses.

It is a vibrant and successful institution working closely with its many partners in business, industry and the local community to create a sustainable, creative and ethical learning environ- ment for its students. Its courses provide the graduates with a sound theoretical foundation, but also integrate work life oriented elements. These include work placements or project work, commissioned by business organisations.

At StuV -the Student Union at Campus Schwäbisch Hall – we organize regular sports and leisure activities as well as excursions such as visits to musicals and sporting events. Drop by our office to meet new people, check out our notice board for upcoming activities.

For example, the Campus Party takes places usually three times during the semester and we organize different other events or trips. Every year before Christmas we organize our Christ- mas Party in our Mensa, where we show a traditional movie, called „Die Feuerzangenbowle“. In our office, we offer several services to fellow students. You can borrow a laser pointer for your presentations or even a laptop. Another service is the „Fundbüro” – our lost & found cor- ner. In addition, you can get notepads or pens and some other useful stationary supplies that you might need for your classes. We are always happy to see new faces so don’t hesitate and come by and see us in Room A001 or at our events!

At HHN, enrolment in a subject does not mean that you automatically sit the exam at the end of the semester. In order to sit the final exam (whether written or verbal) and receive a grade at the end of the semester for your subject, you must register for them online during the exam registration period. You will be given a special user ID and password in the first weeks of the semester for your exam registration. If you don´t feel well prepared in a subject you are regis- tered for, there is the possibility of cancelling the registration. Please note the time periods for registration as well as cancellation. Refer to the semester schedule in Section 5.1. For further information contact your Study Programe Advisors (Section 6.1) or visit https://stud.zv.hs-heil- bronn.de.
