Heilbronn University ranks amongst the central institutions of Higher Education in Baden-Württemberg, where it caters to about 8,300 degree-seeking students on four campuses, namely Heilbronn – Sontheim, Heilbronn – Am Europaplatz, Künzelsau, and Schwäbisch Hall. The UniversityUniversity is a family-friendly, vibrant institution that is committed to innovative and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer. It works closely with its many business, industry, and local communities to create a sustainable and ethical learning environment for its students. Its diverse range of study programs in Business Studies, Engineering, and Information Technology provide sound theoretical grounding while integrating vocational elements such as industrial placements or project work. Focus is also placed on competency-based approaches in order to enhance student critical competencies across functions and disciplines. Most study programs have been created in direct response to the needs of local industries. However, an increasing number of courses focus on the challenges presented by today's global business environment. Over the last two decades, Heilbronn University has become a regional leader in technology-driven fundamental and applied research and has established its own Institute of Applied Research. The State of Baden-Württemberg will introduce tuition fees for international students from the winter semester 2017/2018. The law stipulates that international students are required to pay 1,500 euros per semester. Additional revenue is necessary further to promote higher education institutions' internationalization in Baden-Württemberg and offer international students more specific support during their studies. The fees are for international students who enter for the study. Students from the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA), and students who are part of an Erasmus Program are excluded from these fees. Refugees are also not affected. Students who have already begun their studies or who start in the summer semester of 2017 are also unconcerned. Students who received their general qualification for university entrance in Germany without German citizenship are excluded. Heilbronn University has placed research and instruction at the heart of its activities while committing to creating optimal conditions for knowledge transfer and learning. More than 300 lecturers and staff members ensure a learning environment in which the students can thrive and prove their academic mettle. This is enhanced by a favorable teacher-learner ratio, which results in inefficient teamwork and highly satisfactory learning outcomes. The modern language program on offer comprises mandatory modules in Arabic, English, and Russian, and optional classes in Spanish, French, Italian, and German as a foreign language. The University Library is responsible for providing all students, teachers, and employees of the UniversityUniversity with literature. It thus has branches at all four University locations, which are tailored to the respective degree programs. The Library at the Heilbronn-Sontheim campus is the largest, holding over 100,000 media units. Its entrance is on the ground floor of the E building. The Künzelsau Library is located on the first floor of the D building. The Library in Schwäbisch Hall is also on the first floor. At the campus at the Europaplatz in Heilbronn, the Library is located in the basement of the W-Building. You may order media that is not available at your University location.

There are now over 40,000 e-books available to Library users. These and the printed collection are listed in the online catalog and BOSS research tool, which can be accessed via the University'sUniversity's computer network or via the VPN Client from anywhere.
