Services
Housing services
As the housing market in Karlsruhe is generally tight, as it is in most student cities, one strategy when looking for a room is to not only look for offers in the immediate vicinity of the university. The Student Services (Studierendenwerk) Karlsruhe manages more than 20 dormitories with a total of 2,790 places throughout the city. Unfortunately, this means that only a small proportion of students in Karlsruhe can find a place here, although first-semester students are given preference in the allocation process. It is advisable to apply as early as possible, up to six months before the move-in date. A certain contingent of dormitory places is reserved for exchange students from partner universities of HKA.
Library services
The library of the HKA is a branch library of the KIT Library and is responsible for the supply of literature within the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. It is located in building A/upper floor on the campus of Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. The Campus-Card serves as a library card. This must be registered for use at and activated on site.
Medical services
There is no sickbay at campus, only first-aid helpers. A current list of doctors and dentists is provided by the International Office in the exchange student Welcome Package; otherwise see us for this list or refer to Yellow Pages. Always have the insurance card with you, in case of emergency, as it needs to be presented when you see a doctor.
Student Life
Campus life
The campus of Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences is located in the middle of the city and at the same time in the countryside, to the west of the Palace Garden and on the edge of the Hardtwald forest. Five of the six faculties are located here on an approximately 10-hectare site. The inner-city campus buildings are all within easy walking or cycling distance. The Bruchsal branch campus is only a good 20 km away from the main Karlsruhe campus.
Student Reviews
good experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I like the different international programs that we have, even though i was not able to make use of them myself due to covid. Sometimes the organisation of classes was a bit confusing. All exams are in one month. Some might like that, some dont.
