Subject-Specific Advising
When you have questions about studying History or the Auxiliary Sciences of History in any of degree programs in the Department of History at Heidelberg University, whom you contact depends on the nature of your question.
For questions about the structure of degree programs, examinations, change of subject, etc., please contact the department's academic advisors. Each advisor holds regular office hours for which you can reserve a ‘slot’ in advance. Short-term changes/cancellations of office hours will be announced on the homepage of the Department of History. Please take a look at the latest announcements before planning a visit.
In addition to the core academic advisors, students are encouraged to contact lecturers at the department, especially the assistants, for course- or period-specific questions. An overview of the office hours of all lecturers during the semester, including room number and email address, can be found on our website. Note that special office hours are offered during the non-instructional period of the semester.
You can find information and advice about matters relating to secondary school teacher training at Heidelberg University, the structure of degree programs and examinations, the polyvalent Bachelor of Arts 50% with Teacher Training Option, and the Masters of Education) on the website of the Heidelberg School of Education (HSE). The HSE is located in Bergheim (Voßstraße 2, Building 4330, 69115 Heidelberg). We recommend subscribing to the HSE mailing list, which organizes regular information and advising events on all aspects of the teaching profession. It will also remind you of important upcoming deadlines (e.g. application deadlines for the Master of Education).
