University information systems

The URZ is responsible for the setup, operation and support of different IT-based information systems at Heidelberg University. One of these systems is the LSF (German acronym for teachings, studies, and research), a comprehensive portal containing information on courses, institutions, and teaching staff which allows students to, among other things, edit selected personal data or manage their exams.

Systems for exams, applications, elections

Specialized IT systems also offer a technical foundation for many other central administration and information processes, ranging from the university elections and the admission procedure for new students to the organisation of the university-wide internal training program.
