Studying at the
KIT-Department of Civil Engineering, Geo and Environmental Sciences

Over five days, the Geosciences student representatives organize some orientation days for first-year students. The days are intended to help provide some clarity for the first year of study and offer the opportunity to make new contacts with fellow students.

The meeting point is on Monday, October 20, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the foyer of building 10.50.

With a mixture of information and fun events, the Student representatives of Civil engineering provide our first semester students with important information about their future studies and introduces them to KIT and the city of Karlsruhe. There will be a guided tour of the campus, a professors' brunch, a station rally, and much more.

You can find all the latest information on the website.

The student representatives for civil engineering invite master’s students from all of our civil engineering degree programs to the information session and orientation days. Here, you’ll receive important information about starting your studies, have the opportunity to ask questions, and get to know your new classmates. The orientation phase begins on Monday, October 19, with an information session led by Dr. Ulf Mohrlock. Afterward, there will be a casual get-together for everyone to get to know one another.

The Geodesy and Geoinformatics student representatives offer incoming freshmen eventful days to get to know future fellow students and their new environment. Students of "Geodesy and Geoinformatics" from higher semesters are available as supervisors. The event starts on Thursday, October 16 at 10 a.m. in the Haid lecture hall (building 20.40).

The Student Advisory Services (ZSB) is offering a new weekly clearing consultation from 14.08.2025. The service is aimed at students who need special support in balancing their studies and personal challenges. Family or care responsibilities, health problems or challenges in everyday life - but also an unexpected crisis - can be reasons to visit the consultation. In a confidential one-to-one meeting, ways to better reconcile studies and personal life situation will be discussed. The consultation takes place every Thursday from 10:00 to 12:00 in the ZSB. Registration is not necessary. Please contact the ZSB Infopoint (+49 721 608 - 44930/ info@zsb.kit.edu) if you have any questions.

In addition to the websites of our department and the associated institutes, this ILIAS platform provides all students of the B.Sc. Civil Engineering, M.Sc. Civil Engineering, M.Sc. Engineering Structures, M.Sc. Mobility and Infrastructure, M.Sc. Water Science and Engineering and M.Sc. Technology and Management in Construction, with regular event information and news from the KIT-Department BGU (bulletin board) as well as information on studying and advisory services (information material and resources).

Whether it's the student portal, advice on organizing and financing your studies or the canteen menu, everything is just a few clicks away on the intranet. The most important information is bundled on the "Studying" page. You also have the option of creating your own individual dashboard with the services you use most frequently - for example ILIAS or the learning space reservation.

Another new feature is the newsfeed, which provides you with the latest news from KIT. You can also subscribe to topics relating to your studies and research that are of particular interest to you. Take a look at intranet.kit.edu: One login, everything inside.
