Student Surveys at KIT
KIT quality management accompanies students throughout the entire student lifecycle with surveys on various topics. Thus, students have the opportunity to actively participate in shaping the studies at KIT and can periodically communicate their needs and wishes.
The results are made available to the responsible persons (Executive Board, KIT faculties and teaching units) as well as other contact persons at KIT and flow into regular discussions with teaching managers and commissions. Parts of the survey results always flow into the KIT-PLUS procedure. The survey results thus have a direct influence on the accreditation and design of the study programs.
Enrollment survey
Enrollment survey
Who is surveyed? All first-time and newly enrolled students at KIT.
What is asked? In the enrollment survey, we ask the first-year students for feedback on their transition from school to studying at KIT, e.g. orientation- and information-searching behavior of the students before starting their studies, reasons for deciding to study at KIT, entry into studies at KIT, evaluation of used counseling and support services, and knowledge and competences brought into their studies.
When? Every winter semester.

The survey always takes place in the winter semester, approx. 12-18 months after graduation.

Survey on studies during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Survey on studies during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 Pandemic had a major impact on students' studies and lifestyles as of March 2020. In order to collect the experiences and assessments of students, KIT, in cooperation with its constituted student body and the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe, conducted the special survey "Studying under Pandemic Conditions" at the end of the summer semester 2021.
The survey covers both the handling of online teaching and private and health-related effects of the pandemic.

Workload survey
Workload survey
The student workload is an important indicator for the studyability of our study programs at KIT. One ECTS point corresponds to an average student workload of 25 to a maximum of 30 hours. In addition to attending courses, the student workload also includes the time spent preparing for and following up on courses, examinations, and the time spent on self-study.
In addition to the various feedback possibilities within the framework of the surveys on studies and teaching and the course evaluation, you students can also contact KIT directly for this purpose.
To do so, please write an e-mail to qualitaetsmanagement∂sts.kit.edu with the following information:
- Specification of study program as well as module
- Description of the actual workload
We will send your feedback anonymously to the responsible persons and give you feedback on the result.
