- International Business

Our degree programme International Business offers not only the content comparable to the German bachelor programme but on top provides you with intercultural competences, and precious experiences abroad: Your semester abroad will not only boost your foreign language(s) – for many students it is an experience echoing throughout their whole life. At times, important networks and contacts are built which are valuable for your future career. The integrated semester abroad at one of our partnering universities also offers you a very wide range of interesting topics to specialize in the academic area of your interest.

- Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers play a key role in the current technological transformation of mobility and energy technology. After studying electrical engineering at SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg, you will have all the skills you need to successfully plan, develop and maintain complex systems. You will also have the opportunity to specialise in areas of high social relevance: electromobility, energy technology and mobile robotics.

-Business Engineering

Imagine you want to develop a product and sell it profitably. You will learn what you need to do this with us! You will learn to explain how scientific forces can attack a product (technical mechanics), why it may then fail (materials engineering), what manufacturing techniques are available to restore the product (production engineering), and what all this has to do with electrical engineering - this is how we lay the engineering foundations. Then we move on to economics:

- International Business

Nowadays, an international and border-crossing mindset already constitutes an important qualification in its own right, and is highly valued in the job market. Students who understand different cultures, have a more inclusive mindset, and are aware of diverse business practices are highly sought-after. Our International Business program supports this by offering modules such as, for example

Marketing

Human Resources Management

International Accounting

International Law

Operations Management

International Taxation

- Electrical Engineering

In addition to the necessary specialised knowledge, we will prepare you for your career entry in a targeted manner right from the start: In many exercises and interdisciplinary projects, you will solve practical problems both on your own and as part of a team. This will definitely prepare you for the challenges of the future: with a specialisation in electromobility, energy technology and mobile robotics, you will be qualified for the entire range of engineering activities in industry and public institutions.

-Business Engineering

The programme focuses on innovation management, patent research and the basics of business administration. You will also acquire skills in automation technology, technical drawing, programming, quality management and production.

Generally, morning classes are set to begin at 9.30 a.m. (although some do start as early as 7.45). After a 75-minute break for lunch, afternoon classes resume at 2.00 p.m. and can take place at any time slot well into the evening. Most students only have a few lectures per day. Individual timetables will be issued through the respective faculties. 

A Foundation is a period of study which bridges the gap between your High School studies and the Year 1 entry point of your chosen degree at SRH University. Foundations are perfect if you need an extra layer of study and support.

All the international Foundation programmes covered in this section lead onto one of SRH University’s degrees and progression is automatic if you have passed all required modules. You will select your progression degree at the point of application.

SRH International College offers three foundation programmes:

Business

A two semester Foundation programme leading into a range of internationally-focused undergraduate business degree at university.

Creative Studies

A two semester Foundation programme focused on the production of large-scale, creative projects in order to successfully develop the analytical, creative and interpersonal skills needed for further study.

Engineering & IT

A two semester programme that creates a broad understanding of both theoretical and practical concepts in computer science, programming and engineering.

- Business

Taught at the SRH University Heidelberg campus, the Foundation in Business will give you a broad understanding of both the theoretical and practical concepts in business and management. This will allow you to successfully develop the analytical, technical and interpersonal skills needed to study an undergraduate business degree at university.

There is also a key focus on the enhancement of the English language and academic skills, alongside the German language.

Students will undertake modules in research, critical and creative thinking, mathematics and ethics to ensure they have the general knowledge and skills suitable for studying at undergraduate level.

- Creative Studies

When you study our Foundation in Creative Studies you will undertake modules exploring the design and production of large-scale, creative projects in order to successfully develop the analytical, creative and interpersonal skills needed to study an undergraduate Creative programme at university.

In addition, there will be a key focus on the enhancement of the English language and academic skills, as well as the German language.

Finally, students will undertake modules in research, critical and creative thinking and mathematics to ensure they have the general knowledge and skills suitable for studying at undergraduate level.

Please note that your Foundation studies will be at SRH University Heidelberg campus, and then your progression degree will be taught at the SRH University Berlin campus.

- Engineering & IT

On our Engineering and IT Foundation, you will gain a broad understanding of both theoretical and practical concepts in computer science, programming and engineering physics and design in order to successfully develop the analytical, technical and interpersonal skills needed to study an Engineering programme or study an IT degree at the University.

Additionally, there is a key focus on the enhancement of the English language and academic skills, as well as the German language.

Finally, students will undertake modules in research, critical and creative thinking and advanced mathematics to ensure they have the general knowledge and skills suitable for studying at undergraduate level.

The Foundation will be taught at the SRH Heidelberg campus and then you can progress to degree programmes at either the SRH Heidelberg or SRH Berlin campus depending on your degree choice.

Classroom Hour :

Generally, morning classes are set to begin at 9.30 a.m. (although some do start as early as 7.45).

As one in five residents of Heidelberg is a student, there is a multitude of bars, bistros, coffeehouses, and cultural meeting points in the Old Town of Heidelberg. 

Castle Illumination: In memory of the destruction of the Heidelberg Castle by the French General Melac and his troops over 300 years ago, the castle walls turn blood red and brilliant fireworks are launched from the Old Bridge. The castle illumination takes place several times a year and starts after dusk.

Old Town Autumn Festival takes place at the end of September, and the whole pedestrian zone of Heidelberg turns into one big party with lots of music, a medieval market, an art and crafts market, and a flea market.

Heidelberg Christmas Market starts at the end of November and ends two or one days before Christmas Eve. Over 140 stalls all over the Old Town of Heidelberg spread the spirit of Christmas.

If you plan to fly to Germany, Frankfurt Airport is usually the best choice. There is a very good train connection to Heidelberg (about 80 kilometres south of Frankfurt), or you may want to use private shuttle services.

Arrival by train: Frankfurt Airport Station to Heidelberg Central Station. Tickets are available at automatic ticket machines in the station or online at bahn.de. The price is approx. € 25 one-way. 

Arrival by shuttle service to Heidelberg city centre: You should book your seat in advance, and be prepared to pay the fare in cash.

Arrival by shuttle service door to door: This option must be booked 48 hours in advance, and again, be prepared to pay the fare in cash.
