Welcome at the KIT department of Informatics!

We are happy to provide you with all relevant information to prepare for your study abroad at our faculty. On the following pages we have summarized the most important points for you.

Each year, we welcome a large number of international students participating in an exchange program or pursuing a full-time degree. They benefit from an exceptionally broad and interdisciplinary range of courses, complemented by a large number of english courses. The highly qualified teaching staff guarantees a sound scientific education for the students as well as valuable insights into modern research areas. In addition, a variety of leisure activities are offered outside the curriculum, so that new contacts can be made and your time at the KIT becomes an unforgettable experience.

All the upcoming events can be found here at Information Events.
The Learning Agreement (LA)

The main document for your ERASMUS exchange is the Learning Agreement (LA).
Check with your home university to see if you are required to have an LA. ERASMUS+ students must submit a mandatory LA with their application (see below: Before the Mobility).

 

The LA forms the basis for:

  • The recording of the intended study plan at the host university,
  • confirmation of the extent of recognition by the examiners at the home university,
  • the documentation towards the funders (e.g. European Union, scholarship providers, ...).

 

Please keep all documents you have submitted and that we have signed, as you will need them again at a later date.

 

The Learning Agreement (LA) - Before the Mobility
 
  • Use the Learning Agreement from your home university.
    • All terms and conditions of your home university apply.
    • Minimum number of ECTS credits: To be determined by your home university.
    • At least 70% of your chosen ECTS credits must come from the field of informatics.
       
  • When applying to the KIT Faculty of Informatics, an LA with completed Before the Mobility section must be submitted.
    • For now, please sign only the Before the Mobility part!
    • Only signed LAs will be accepted!
    • Please keep the signed LA as you will need it again in case of changes during your time at the KIT (During the Mobility).
    • More about adjustments of your LA during the time at the KIT can be found in the section: The Learning Agreement (LA) - During the Mobility.
    • Please submit your full LA via:
      • The Mobility Online Portal (if possible/available)
        or
      • the Informatics Study Program Service (ISS) at exchange∂informatik.kit.edu.
         
  • Each course has two specific numbers that you must include in your Learning Agreement (LA) as well as in the Campus Management for Students (CAS).
    • Module Number = M-INFO-101175
    • Bricks = T-INFO-1011968 & T-INFO-101995
  • You need the number to enroll in events and register for exams.
  • Please be sure to include both numbers in your LA so we can process it. Enter both module number and brick number in the table.
     
  • The turnaround time to review and sign the LA is approximately 14 days with the Informatics Study Program Service.
  • You can either download your signed LA via the Mobility Online Portal or receive it by email.
     
  • Answers to many questions about studying at KIT can be found in our FAQ.

 

The Learning Agreement (LA) - During the Mobility
 
  • You may adjust your LA during your time at KIT (e.g. due to time conflicts or other study interests).
  • Changes must first be coordinated with the home university.
  • Changes are possible until mid-November for the winter semester and until the end of May for the summer semester.
  • The LA must always be signed by all 3 parties: The student, the subject coordinator (FK) of your home university and the subject coordinator (FK) at the partner university.
     
  • Please always submit the complete, signed document when making changes to your LA. This contains:
    • The Before the Mobility section, already including all signatures.
    • The changes marked in the section During the Mobility.
    • Your signature in the During the Mobility section.
  • Documents that are not complete will not be signed!
  • Please submit your changed LA to the Informatics Study Program Service (ISS) at exchange∂informatik.kit.edu.
     
  • The turnaround time to review and sign the LA is approximately 14 days with the Informatics Study Program Service.
  •  
  • You can either download your signed LA via the Mobility Online Portal or receive it by email.
     
  • Answers to many questions about studying at KIT can be found in our FAQ.

 

Course Selection

Incoming students can take all bachelor and master courses in the informatics program. Exceptions are the course Praxis der Software-Entwicklung (PSE) and Proseminar. Please also note that the course Praxis der Forschung spans 2 semesters and can thus only be taken by incoming students whose stay at the KIT is at least 2 semesters.

 

An overview of all events at the KIT is provided by the KIT course catalog (VVZ). The current courses of the bachelor's and master's programs in informatics are published each semester in the module guides.

  • Please note that some lectures also include exercises, which must be successfully completed in order to complete the overall module.
  • The current courses are published each semester in the module guides.
    • Courses are updated approximately one month before the start of the semester. Please check the course catalog (VVZ) to see whether the courses you have selected are taking place.
  • Please note that courses may be changed, deleted, replaced, expanded, or otherwise modified at any time. Although every effort is made to ensure that students are admitted to their preferred course selections, the KIT Faculty of Informatics cannot guarantee admission to any particular course.

  • An overview of the courses offered in English at the KIT Faculty of Informatics can be found via the advanced event search (Search parameters: Language - English; Study program - Informatics Bachelor/Master).

 

Internships and seminars are often not included in the VVZ, but can be found on the websites of the individual institutes. For most courses, registration is done by sending an e-mail to the respective secretary's office of the supervising chair.

 

B.Sc./M.Sc. Thesis at the KIT:

  • You must find an advisorthe topic as well as the topic for your thesis on your own.
  • We recommend visiting the various Insitute homepages to assist you in this process and sending e-mails to potential advisors.

English Lectures and Lecture Translator

The KIT Faculty of Informatics distinguishes between courses which are permanently offered in English and those which can be offered in English in case of interest.

 

Some lectures can be offered in English if required. If you want to listen to one of these courses in English, please contact the corresponding lecturer in time and before the lecture!

  • An overview of the courses offered in English at the KIT Faculty of Informatics can be found via the advanced event search (Search parameters: Language - English; Study program - Informatics Bachelor/Master).
  • A list of the courses which are simultaneously translated can be obtained from the Lecture Translator of the KIT.
  • The online glossary, which translates subject-specific terms from German into English and vice versa, can be found in the English-Glossary.

 

Study Portal (Campus Management for Students)

For the organization of studies, students at KIT can use the Campus Management for Students. Incoming students can do the following through it:
  • Log in through the Campus Management Portal for Students.
  • Register and deregister for exams online.
