Location DetailsThe city of Heidelberg, about sixty miles south of Frankfurt, is located in the state of Baden-Württemberg and is built on both sides of the Neckar River. Many German cities claim to be rich in tradition, but few have retained that tradition with as much style as Heidelberg; from the crumbling walls of the once-majestic Schloß to the historic gabled buildings and cobblestone streets of the Altstadt. |
Visa InformationU.S. citizens will NOT require a visa* in order to participate in this program. Limited information about the visa application process may be provided by the ASU Study Abroad Office and/or your host institution, but it is your sole responsibility to research, apply, and secure a visa. Failure to obtain a visa may result in your inability to participate and, ultimately, your withdrawal from the program, subject to the terms of the Study Abroad Withdrawal Policy. |
Academic Program & CoursesExchange students may take part in a 4-week intensive language course at the International Study Center before the start of the semester (offered in September for fall semester students and in March for spring semester students). The program includes 80 hours of language instruction at all levels (basic, intermediate, and advances). All courses contain German grammar, conversation, reading and writing, listening comprehension, lexis, phonetics, regional and cultural studies, and information about studying in Heidelberg. The fee for the language course is covered by the International Relations Office for exchange students. Access a list of courses other ASU students have taken and view current course equivalencies.

Program HousingWhile in Heidelberg, Exchange students staying in German dorms enjoy the privacy of a single room yet benefit from a closely-knit social unit. Students generally share kitchen and shower facilities, and responsibilities for the apartment's up-keep (cleaning, refuse, etc.) - in the kitchen, communal appliances and silverware are usually available. Dorm life may include activities such as a weekly potluck, group outings, and organized get-togethers. Additionally, the residences are located in different parts of the city and very close to public transport. Exchange students are guaranteed housing, so exchange students are strongly encouraged to consider this option. University cafeterias also provide regular meals (including vegetarian). |
Accessibility InformationIndividuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation in one of more of this program’s locations very different from what you find in the United States. Depending on the program, there may be a great deal of walking or the regular use of public transportation. The Study Abroad Office cannot guarantee access to public transportation, buildings, or public sites on this program. |
Cost InformationExchange program participants will pay ASU tuition and fees for the term of the Exchange program, according to the individual student's classification and degree level. In addition to ASU tuition and fees, participants are also responsible for paying the following fees:
Be sure to reference the Spring Semester Cost Sheet or the Academic Year Cost Sheet for information on any additional estimated expenses.

Please note that the participant is fully responsible for making arrangements and for all costs of transportation, lodging, food and additional expenses that may be associated with any non-Program activities. |
