Have you opted for a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme at SRH Campus Stuttgart? Now all you need to do is apply for a place. Simply upload your documents to our application portal. If you meet the admission requirements, you will be invited to attend a discussion at our university, which will enable us to get to know you better and to talk about your plans for the future. 

You can find out whether your chosen degree programme starts in April or October on the relevant programme details page. There are no application deadlines for our study programmes. You can even apply right up until just before semester starts. Please bear in mind, however, that the visa application process can take up to three months, especially if you are applying from outside the EU. So the earlier you apply, the more time you will have to organise your studies. The same goes for finding accommodation and arranging funding.

Each degree programme has its own specific admission requirements. To find out the requirements for your chosen degree programme, please refer to the relevant programme details page or contact the Student Advisory Service.

• Higher education entrance qualification for Bachelor’s programmes: To pursue a study programme at a higher education institution in Germany, you will need a valid higher education entrance qualification (HZB), such as a General Higher Education Entrance Qualification (allgemeine Hochschulreife) or an entrance qualification for studies at universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulreife). For several years now, it has also been possible for non-traditional applicants with professional experience to be admitted to higher education.
• University degree for Master’s programmes
• Restricted entry (NC): None of the study programmes offered at SRH University Heidelberg are subject to admission restrictions.

Some creative study programmes may also involve you taking a further admissions test.
