Try out studying - University live at KIT
Getting a taste of a lecture is a good way to gain a first impression of studying. It's less about understanding the content and more about experiencing how a lecture works and how teaching at university differs from school.
In lectures, university lecturers give talks on a specific topic, while exercises and tutorials are used to study the material in greater depth. In addition, many students meet outside the lectures to go through the lecture content again in small groups and clarify any unanswered questions together.
As part of the "Studieren probieren" program, you have the opportunity to attend a lecture at the KIT Department of Economics and Management.
The lecture periods at KIT are mid-October to mid-February and mid-April to the end of July. And the best time for a non-binding taster is during the large introductory lectures of the first two Bachelor's semesters. You can find an overview of the introductory lectures here .
If you are unsure which lectures are most suitable, you are welcome to contact the Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) at KIT. Appointments can be made online .
Further information can also be found in this flyer.
For those interested in the Bachelor's degree courses, the lectures of the core program offer an insight into the course content.
