Student review [#18310] for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - KIT

As an EE Bachelor Student (called Electrical Engineering and Information Technology) at the KIT I can advise you to think twice before applying here. First off the things the Uni and Faculty don’t let you know is how unorganized the entire system of the University is, especially in this studies. FORGET ANY SORT OF VACATION. Only Holidays are given as required by law but if you expect to have a summer or winter or spring break then you are at the wrong place. It is a full time job to study here, until now (6 Semesters) I have gotten maximum 3 weeks/year vacation from exams and lectures. Would not recommend it for any foreign/international students. Other than that the exams in the Corona times were both poorly managed and also made more difficult in order to give the students the “elite” experience of University in pandemic times. The Pros for this Uni are that everyone here is suffering together and that the library used to be open 24/7 before the pandemic, as well as the ability to have some variety in courses to choose from which is to be expected from any mid to high tier University.
