KIT (formed in 2009 from the merger of the University of Karlsruhe, founded 1825, and the Karlsruhe Research Center) is a leading German technical university. Unlike RWTH Aachen, KIT sits in Baden-Württemberg, one of the German states that does charge non-EU students tuition.

Typical length for a European Bologna-system bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme. Some professional or engineering programmes run 3.5-4 years, so confirm your specific programme's length with the university.
Accreditation
DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.
Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.

Student residence permits issued in Germany
Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for Germany is not built yet.
No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.
for €1,500/semester for newly-enrolled non-EU/EEA students in bachelor's, teacher's, and consecutive master's programmes, per the Baden-Württemberg Act on State University Fees.
A separate administrative charge of €80/semester (€160/year) applies to all students regardless of nationality, on top of this tuition figure. Most bachelor's programmes are taught in German, requiring a C1 German-language certificate — this is a niche route for an English-only applicant. Re-checked this cycle: the €1,500/semester rate under the Baden-Württemberg State University Fees Act is confirmed unchanged for 2026/27.

This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →
