Study ambassador program at KIT
Study ambassadors of the KIT are themselves students of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in different study programs. They inform prospective students with a refugee background in different languages (German, English and Arabic). They hold the weekly open consultation and, each semester, various information events for refugees in cooperation with the International Students Office and the refugee coordinator.

KIT has opened its guest student program for refugees so that they can start their university life as early as possible by attending preparatory courses (e.g. basic math course at the MINT Kolleg) and German courses, getting to know other students, participating in social activities and targeted support and receive advice. The KIT covers the fees for the guest certificate and a library card.

Learn German online
Online courses for learning German do not replace a regular German course, but are helpful as an additional opportunity to improve your language skills. Most study programs in Germany are still in German. For this reason, very good knowledge of German is a prerequisite for a successful application to study.
Free online language courses are offered by:
