International
The Institute of Geography at Heidelberg University is well-connected internationally and has a large network of partner universities and research collaborations. This opens up numerous opportunities for local students to gain international experience. The institute also offers international students an attractive contact point for enriching Heidelberg as a place to study through exchange.
Study Abroad
One of the first points of contact for the orientation and planning phase is the Infocenter for Study and Internship Abroad of the International Relations Department.
In addition the Student Office and the Internship Initiative Geography (PIG) organize an annual information event on the topic of studying abroad where information is provided about opportunities for studying and internships abroad for all degree programs. Please check the notice boards regularly!
International Students
Heidelberg University has more than 6,000 international students and doctoral candidates. Studying in a foreign country is often challenging – in terms culture, language or administration. Both Heidelberg University and the Institute of Geography offer a variety of support services to international students in meeting the challenges of studying abroad in Heidelberg.
