International Service in Mechanical Engineering (ISIM)
International experience is an important component of a qualified higher education. A successful stay abroad requires suitable partnerships with foreign universities, coordinated study programmes and targeted course content. In an effort to offer students of the KIT-Faculty of Mechanical Engineering the widest range of opportunities for studying abroad, ISIM provides ongoing advice and support for outgoing students in the prepartion of and the carrying out of their subject- and study-related stays abroad. Incoming students as well as guest students can find orientation here for an easier entry into studying at KIT. ISIM is the first point of contact for faculty staff in questions concerning international exchange programs, new partnerships with foreign universities, and their own stays abroad such as teaching and staff mobility within the framework of ERASMUS+.

Norway was clearly the top destination of choice: NTNU in Trondheim appeared 25 times in the list of up to 3 possible exchange destinations for students. But Sweden, Iceland and Finland were also high on the list. Those who like it a bit warmer applied mainly to Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Many students were pleased to be accepted at their first or second choice university, while only a few ended up as third choice or unfortunately did not make it at all.
There is no allocation of remaining Erasmus spots for summer semester 2024. The next opportunity to apply is in December 2023 for an exchange in 2024/25.
With the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering to the vibrant capitals of Europe - Paris, Athens, Lisbon, Madrid, Stockholm or Dublin, to name a few? Studying in historic Italian cities like Bologna or Ancona? Or would you rather enjoy Nordic nature experiences in Trondheim or Tampere? These are just a few of 60 possible destinations for a stay abroad in 2023/24, where you can also make lots of new contacts and improve your foreign language and intercultural skills. And all this sponsored by the largest European exchange program Erasmus including mobility assistance from 490 to 600 euros per month for four months.
Don't miss this chance and apply until January 15 for a stay abroad in winter semester 2023 and/or summer semester 2024. All information about the application process and the link to the online application can be found at https://www.mach.kit.edu/1703.php#bewerb2.
Wie es ist, für viele Monate die Koffer zu packen und fast 9.000 km von der Heimat entfernt zu leben und zu studieren, davon berichtet Alexander Fuhrmann am Dienstag, den 20. Dezember, ab 13.30 Uhr in Raum 30.96. Er studiert im Doppelmasterprogramm am KAIST im koreanischen Daejeon und erzählt exklusiv von seinen Eindrücken. Das KAIST wird regelmäßig auf Platz 1 der besten Universitäten Südkoreas gerankt und bietet hervorragende Studienbedingungen. Alle, die sich für das Programm, das Land im Allgemeinen oder die Partneruniversität interessieren, sind herzlich eingeladen, zum Vortrag zu kommen. Natürlich wird es auch reichlich Zeit für Fragen geben. Eine Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich.
Die Präsentation finden Sie anschließend unter folgendem Link: https://ilias.studium.kit.edu/goto.php?target=webr_1704574&client_id=produktiv
