Starting with your studies means not only studying hard and acquiring new knowledge, but also being independent, in an entirely new phase of life, and gaining rights and responsibilities that may be unfamiliar to you. Because of this, one may need to develop new social skills and legal knowledge. For example, dealing with an owner, employees of the university, a financial officer, an insurance agent, or also with us, the staff of the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe. Here you can find resources for gaining these skills.
