Confirmed quality in teaching and research
Our quality commitment
SRH University offers you an excellent and internationally recognised course of study. Our university is accredited by the state and other institutions. It is also internationally affiliated and has been awarded for excellent learning methods.
System accreditation
System-accredited university – a guarantee of the highest quality
SRH University has held system accreditation since 1 October 2019 and bears the Accreditation Council’s seal of quality. This certifies that the university meets the highest standards in study and teaching – students are assured that planning, teaching and assessment are carried out in accordance with certified processes. As a system-accredited university, SRH University is authorised to accredit its study programmes independently using its audited quality management processes. This procedure replaces the programme accreditation previously in use.
Advantages at a glance:
- Audited quality – content, structure and examinations are externally audited and meet the highest standards.
- Global recognition – national and international recognition of qualifications.
- Up-to-date & practice-oriented content – regular reviews guarantee practical, modern learning.
- Fair conditions – transparent and reliable examination processes.
- Career advantage – qualifications are confirmed by an independent body.
At SRH University, I experience an international atmosphere right in the heart of Heidelberg – with lectures in German and English, practical projects and varied modules in small groups. The exams are practical and creative – just like our entrepreneurship project. My highlight: the semester abroad in Milan, thanks to over 90 partner universities.
An excellent teaching model
Award for our CORE teaching and learning model
Excellent teaching isn’t found everywhere – but here, it’s part of your everyday life. In 2018, we were honoured with the prestigious Genius Loci Prize from the Stifterverband and the Volkswagen Foundation for our innovative teaching and learning model, CORE (Competence Oriented Research and Education) – the only institutional award for excellent teaching in Germany.
Benefits at a glance:
- Excellent teaching – an award-winning teaching and learning model that is unique in Germany.
- Practical learning – knowledge is applied directly, not just tested.
- Intensive support – small groups, close collaboration with lecturers.
- Lasting learning success – knowledge is consolidated in the long term through hands-on experimentation.
- Strong skills – teamwork, personal responsibility and creativity as genuine career boosters.
Expertise, the future, standards
Teaching the CORE way engages students by prompting them to immediately apply theory in real-world contexts through project assignments. This has proven to prepare them to ‘hit the ground running’ in internships and careers, giving them a clear competitive advantage.

Family, equality of opportunity, responsibility
I found SRH University to be very family-friendly. As a mother of two, I was always met with understanding when I had to take time off due to illness or childcare issues – I was even able to reschedule exams or bring my children with me. I always had someone to turn to and never felt left to cope with my individual needs on my own. I particularly appreciate this flexibility and humanity at SRH.
