Information on courses Complete Course catalogue: https://studium.kit.edu/meineuniversitaet/Seiten/vorlesungsverzeichnis.aspx Further information on course selection and Learning Agreements: http://www.intl.kit.edu/istudies/3377.php Please note that registration for some seminars or lectures is required. If further information is needed, please contact the departmental coordinator directly and enquire about the details. 4.4. German language courses We offer beginners and intermediate pre-semester German language courses (3 weeks, 4 ECTS) for exchange students usually about 3-4 weeks before lectures begin. At the moment the tuition fee for this course is 50 €. Registration for the course is integrated into the online application. This course is not a substitute for a certificate of German language required for the application. ERASMUS students also have the possibility to participate in German courses during the semester for a small fee. However they have to register online at the start of each semester and since there is a high demand, late registration might lead to students not being able to participate. For more information check www.stk.kit.edu/deutsch_kurse.php. 4.5. Housing Our institution will guide incoming students/staff in finding accommodation, according to the requirements of the ERASMUS Charter for Higher Education. The KIT housing service can be contacted via www.intl.kit.edu/ischolar/6166.php. However, housing is a difficult subject for all students in Karlsruhe. We are doing our best to secure rooms for our incoming exchange students, but due to the recent rise in Karlsruhe student numbers it is a nearly impossible task. Hence, we cannot guarantee a room upon your arrival, but have to ask the incoming students to take action themselves. We have accumulated tips and tricks about housing in Karlsruhe at www.intl.kit.edu/ischolar/6166.php. 4.6.Health insurance Our institution will provide assistance in obtaining health insurance for incoming and outgoing students/staff, according to the requirements of the ERASMUS Charter for Higher Education. For students, health insurance coverage during the entire stay in Germany is compulsory. Further information at http://www.intl.kit.edu/istudies/3372.php or contact erasmus- in@intl.kit.edu.
