For prospective students

You would like to study, but feel like you can't see the forest for the trees? A thorough orientation is the first step to successful studying. That's why we offer you support during this process. In our workshops, you will learn how to organize and maintain your own decision-making process. In our information sessions about the different study programs, you can learn about contents, challenges, application processes and career prospects. We even have an event for your parents so they are able to support you the best possible way. 

• Information sessions: „Studium am KIT“ (studying at KIT) for a general overview, sessions for individual study programs and real talks with students (all events are held in German)

• Workshops: „Was will ich studieren?“ (what do I want to study?), „Hilfe, jetzt muss ich mich entscheiden!“ (Help! I need to decide now!) and „Abitur und was dann?“ (Abitur and what after?) for your own personal orientation (all events are held in German)

• Campus tours: walk & talk with an advisor and students to get to know the campus and ask all your questions concerning studying at KIT - with or without a short presentation „Studium am KIT“ (studying at KIT; all events are held in German)

For students

We give advise and support during all phases of studies with a variety of events for topics that concern students the most. At the start of your studies, we offer different formats that help you arrive at KIT. Did the beginning or the first semesters of your studies not go as planned and expected? Are you troubled by doubts? Are you threatened by the loss of your exam entitlement? You are studying at KIT and want to know just how exactly the prior master's transfer account works or how you can obtain missing credits according to the admission criteria for a maste'sr program outside of the subject area of your bachelor's program? You have completed your bachelor's degree at another university and are looking for possibilities to make up for missing credits needed for admission to our master's programs? Then have a look at our even calendar.

• Information sessions: At the beginning of your studies „Erfolgreich studieren“ (study successfully) and „Fit durchs 1. Semester“ (fit through your 1st semeter), during your studies „Aus und vorbei? – Endgültig nicht bestanden, was nun?“ (over and out? - permanent loss of exam entitlement, now what?) , „Für den Master ans KIT?“ (going for a Master at KIT) or „Vom Bachelor in den Master für KIT-Studierende“ (from bachelor to master for KIT students) (most events are held in German; English events are marked accordingly in the event calendar)
• Workshops: if you have doubts concenring your studies, e.g. „Auf dem falschen Dampfer?“ (on the wrong track) and „Zurück auf Start“ (back to start) (all events are held in German)

For schools

Our customized on-campus programs offer school groups grades 9 and up a special insight into studying. Based on the main interests of the participants and the accompanying teachers, groups can choose from a variety of study-oriented information sessions and workshops. In addition, participants have the opportunity to attend "real" lectures or explore the campus on a guided tour.

We'll also gladly participate in events at your school or arrange for students or professors to give lectures. Please use our contact form for your inquiry.

• Presentations: depending on your interests, e.g. "Ausbildung oder Studium?" (apprenticeship or studying?), "Welche Studiengänge bietet das KIT?" (which study programs does the KIT offer?), "Wie treffe ich die richtige Studienentscheidung?" (how do I choose the right study program for me?) or even "Bewerbung und Zulassung am KIT" (application and admission at KIT) (events are held predominantly in German; selected English lectures subject to availability).  
• Workshops: customized workshops for study orientation as well as BEST seminars at school or in the offices of the Zentrale Studienberatung (ZSB) (these events are solely available in German)
• Campus tours: our tours point out the most important places on campus such as the dining hall, main auditorium (Audimax) and our 24-hrs library. During the tour, we are happy to answer any questions about studying. (tours are held predominantly in German; English tours subject to availability)
