“Studying abroad at KIT is a chance for me to step out of my comfort zone and visit places I’ve never been. Courses are competitive, covering various areas. No matter which subject you’re in, you are always able to find courses of your own interest. Also, I really enjoyed sceneries – Karlsruhe is so convenient to travel around, not only in Germany, but also in Europe. Overall it’s an unforgettable experience for me!”
