Essential information

The Welcome & Integration Team has created a video series ”Start of Studies for Internationals“  (Studienstart International am KIT). This video series includes the most important information for your start at KIT and your arrival in Karlsruhe. It is available on the ILIAS platform. As soon as you have a KIT account, you can log in to ILIAS, click ”Internationales“ (at the bottom of the list), then click ”Studienstart International“. Furthermore, we offer different Welcome and Information Formats in the period between 15.03. and 09.04.2021. 

If you are an admitted student, but do not yet have access to ILIAS, you can request temporary access from Gjorgji Risteski by stating your application number. We will try to send you a registration code (for temporary access) and instructions within one working day.

As soon as you have registered, please join the course “Studienstart International (regular students) // Start of Studies for Internationals (degree seeking students)”. The course can be found far down in the “magazine” list, under "International" or under the following link. This procedure is only necessary once. Afterwards you can access the content directly via the links in the program on our website.
