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.

With the beginning of the winter semester 2025/26, the KIT-Department BGU will offer the Bachelor's study program "Applied Environmental Informatics and Earth Observation". The strongly inter- and transdisciplinary course of study describes and analyzes the complex interactions between humans, nature and technology and provides a solid, broad-based, subject-related basic education in natural and engineering sciences in the field of environmental sciences and methods of earth observation.

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.
