Mentoring Program

It is often beneficial to seek guidance from individuals with relevant experience. This is why there are mentors from previous intakes who can be consulted with questions and requests for advice.
Additionally, the House of Competence (HoC) at the KIT is a venue for intercultural exchange and hosts a study café for international students on the first Wednesday of each month. This provides an opportunity to interact with students from diverse backgrounds and discuss academic matters such as study methods or scientific writing. Click here for more information.

It is advisable to start thinking of your Master's thesis during the course of your studies. The Master's thesis represents an invaluable opportunity to establish yourself as an expert in your field, to gain further insight into a subject that you are passionate about, or to initiate an innovative project within your company. We are here to provide guidance and support in identifying an appropriate topic and supervisor, as well as in managing your schedule, to ensure that you complete your studies successfully.
