International Students

That’s all nice and cozy, but as an international student, I got lots of other problems, why should I care about all those things?

Did you know, that there are around 5000 international students studying at KIT?

But there are very little international students who are active in the Constituted Student Body or who are participating. That’s why it is even more important to make the international students’ voice heard!

You may not be the only one facing these “other problems,” and as a representative of international students, you can help address precisely these issues.

In this way, you can do your part to improve understanding of intercultural differences and strengthen the integration and acceptance of international students at KIT and in society.

International Student Hub (IStHub)

At the ISTHub international students can get advice and help from peers and experts.
