Study Physics in Heidelberg!

Join us to learn from outstanding researchers what we already know about the world and its laws of nature—and to acquire the tools that will enable you to expand this knowledge even further.

With all the opportunities offered by a large faculty, we promise a steep learning curve. At the same time, our preparatory mathematics course, the foundation course, the buddy program, the student workroom, and especially the collaborative work in small, manageable tutorials ensure that you are supported from the very beginning and always have points of contact for any questions about your studies and beyond.

Come join us—we look forward to welcoming you!
