2. How do I profit from the BioMed Kolleg?

The BioMed Kolleg is offered by the International Study Centre of Heidelberg University exclusively to newly admitted students with foreign school-leaving certificates.

This intensive course comprising 80 45-minute classes offers you comprehensive preparation for your studies at Heidelberg University, specifically tailored for the requirements imposed by your discipline and its language - and all of that right before you start. To make your first steps as successful as possible, with us you will

  • refresh and expand your subject and language knowledge in the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics, including the underlying mathematics
  • train crucial methodological skills, e.g. how to efficiently prepare a presentation and deliver it in a readily comprehensible manner using modern technologies
  • prepare for the requirements of the physics, chemistry, and biochemistry beginner's labs by means of selected experiments and topics.
What's more, by attending the BioMed Kolleg you get to know Heidelberg University even before your degree programme has started.
