First and foremost, you should be sure that you\u2019re committed to your choice of biology, chemistry, teacher education, chemical biology, or food chemistry\u2014and to Karlsruhe as your place of study. This will help you avoid dropping out and save a lot of time and money (tuition!). Here are a few ways to learn more about your future studies:<\/p>

\u2013 Attend the university\u2019s information day for high school students, \u201cUni for Beginners\u201d (Info)<\/p>

\u2013 Talk to students about their experiences<\/p>

\u2013 Listen to a lecture<\/p>

\u2013 Read about the program and how it works (you can find this information on our website, for example)<\/p>

\u2013 Stop by our student association office and get some advice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To study biology in Karlsruhe, you must first apply via the Portal Online \u2013 Application NC. There, you\u2019ll go through a registration process at the end of which you can print out a form, which you then send to the Admissions Office along with the required documents (see the next link). Even though it\u2019s called \u201cNC Application,\u201d relevant professional experience or special achievements play a role in addition to your high school graduation exam scores and subject grades. The exact procedure is outlined in the respective admission regulations.<\/p>

You can find more information at the following links:<\/p>

Since 2012, students wishing to study chemistry in Karlsruhe have been required to participate in a selection process.<\/p>

Students are currently selected by the Hochschulstart Foundation<\/p>

The application deadlines listed there also apply.<\/p>

As of now (2017), there is also a selection interview with the faculty's professors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To apply to the Chemical Biology program at KIT, you can visit the SLE website for the program (KIT \u2013 Studieng\u00e4nge \u2013 Chemische Biologie Bachelor of Science<\/a>), under the \u201cApplication Portal\u201d tab, where you can start your application.<\/p>

Since Chemical Biology is one of the NC programs, you must register with Hochschulstart to submit your application. If you\u2019re applying to multiple degree programs at the same time, you can also specify your order of preference through this platform. For more information, visit the Hochschulstart website.<\/p>

Next, complete your application on the KIT application portal. To do so, you\u2019ll need to upload a scanned copy of your high school diploma or an equivalent certificate. You\u2019ll also be asked for information about your health insurance and similar details. In addition, you must upload a certificate confirming that you have taken the self-assessment test for academic and career orientation.

These \u201cother achievements\u201d are evaluated by a selection committee (Section 8 of the selection regulations). The exact procedure is outlined in the respective selection regulations.<\/p>

You can find more information in the selection regulations.<\/p>

Once the admissions process is complete, the Admissions Committee forwards its decisions to the Student Affairs Office. The Student Affairs Office notifies applicants in writing. Those who have been admitted should also receive their enrollment documents and an invitation to the math prep course. You should then fill out the enrollment documents, send them back to the Student Affairs Office, and pay the semester tuition fee on time (!). Later, you\u2019ll receive your student ID card, at which point you\u2019ll officially be a student. Your studies now begin with the O-Phase.
