“We are delighted by the outstanding achievement of our university in the current CHE University Ranking,” says Prof. Dr. Carsten Diener, President of SRH University Heidelberg. “We want to equip our students for success by giving them the skills they need for their future careers. The fact that we score so well in the criteria of support and practical phase support, reaffirms this approach.” SRH University Heidelberg teaches according to the CORE Principle (Competence-Oriented Research and Education), which puts the focus on the students and gives them skills for their professions in a targeted way. “In our study model, students concentrate on a subject for five weeks, then take an exam. These exams are practice-oriented and measure precisely the skills the students will need for their future careers,” explains Prof. Dr. Carolin Sutter, Head of the SRH Academy of Higher Education. “The good evaluation by the students for these criteria shows that they appreciate this approach.”

The students give positive mention, especially to the way exams are spaced out over time, the transparency of the system, and the match between the courses offered and the exam requirements.
