Heidelberg University, officially the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, （German: Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg; Latin: Universitas Ruperto Carola Heidelbergensis） is a public research university in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Founded in 1386 on instruction of Pope Urban VI, Heidelberg is Germany's oldest university and one of the world's oldest surviving universities.
It was the third university established in the Holy Roman Empire.
Heidelberg has been a coeducational institution since 1899.
The university consists of twelve faculties and offers degree programmes at undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels in some 100 disciplines.
Heidelberg comprises three major campuses: the humanities are predominantly located in Heidelberg's Old Town, the natural sciences and medicine in the Neuenheimer Feld quarter, and the social sciences within the inner-city suburb Bergheim.
The language of instruction is usually German, while a considerable number of graduate degrees are offered in English as well as some in French.
As of 2021, 57 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with the city of Heidelberg and 33 with the university itself.
Modern scientific psychiatry, psychopharmacology, psychiatric genetics, environmental physics, and modern sociology were introduced as scientific disciplines by Heidelberg faculty.
Approximately 1,000 doctorates are completed every year, with more than one third of the doctoral students coming from abroad.
International students from some 130 countries account for more than 20 percent of the entire student body.
