Starting Your Studies at KIT
The start of your studies marks the beginning of a new chapter in your life. At the beginning, there are many questions: What do I have to consider? Which courses do I have to attend? How can I finance my studies? In addition, there are everyday matters outside of university life, such as finding a place to live or sports and cultural activities. In order not to forget anything, we would like to guide you to the most important information about studying at KIT in a clear and compact way.
