Applying from India? Some programmes here accept Duolingo, PTE or TOEFL Home Edition. The German missions in India do not recognise these tests for the student visa, so you will still need a test such as IELTS.

Not recognised for the visa in India: Duolingo English Test, PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT Home Edition.

Money

What it costs

Tuition for non-EU students
Tuition differs by citizenship: EU/EEA nationals (including Switzerland, the Western Balkans and Ukraine) pay a monthly fee, non-EU/EEA nationals a higher fee per semester. A one-off registration fee of €750 (EU/EEA) or €1,000 (non-EU/EEA) is charged, and non-EU students pay the tuition fee for one semester in advance. Apart from placement, aptitude or equivalency tests, no separate examination fees are charged.

Example figures are from the M.Sc. Applied Computer Science page; the rates themselves differ per programme and campus. The advance-payment rule is stated e.g. on the Chemical Engineering page: "If you are from a non-EEA country without a residence permit, the enrolment fee is €1,000 – you must pay the tuition fees for one semester in advance."

Legitimacy

Recognition and accreditation

State recognition
State-recognised private university of applied sciences; seat Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg; operated by SRH Hochschulen GmbH, Heidelberg (Amtsgericht Mannheim HRB 337518).

“SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg State-recognised university Ludwig-Guttmann-Str. 6 69123 Heidelberg … Provider SRH Hochschulen GmbH … Registered Office: Heidelberg. Register Court: Amtsgericht Mannheim HRB 337518”

www.srh-university.de/en/legal-notice/ · checked 14 November 2026

Neither the date of state recognition nor the ministry decree is published by SRH; the FAQ only states "SRH University and its degree programmes are state-recognised and accredited". Since 1 October 2024 SRH's five campus universities (Berlin, Heidelberg, Fürth, Gera, Hamm) form this single institution with 18 study locations.

Institutional accreditation
Latest Wissenschaftsrat institutional accreditation listed: reaccreditation in 2009, positive for 10 years (as SRH Hochschule Heidelberg; first accreditation 2003 as Fachhochschule Heidelberg, positive for 5 years). No later procedure is listed, and none is published for the merged SRH University (formed 1 October 2024). System-accredited by the German Accreditation Council since 1 October 2019, according to SRH.

Quote from the Wissenschaftsrat list of completed institutional accreditation procedures, status October 2026; no later procedure for this institution is listed there. SRH's own quality page says only that the university "has been institutionally accredited by the German Science Council" and that it "has held system accreditation since 1 October 2019 and bears the Accreditation Council’s seal of quality".
