You are welcome to send us an email at incoming@fh-kiel.de. We need the following information for a successfull registration:
- Your first and last name
- Your application number
- Your field of study
- Your start date
- Aimed degree (Bachelor or Master)
You are welcome to register for BaMaPLUS if you have applied and admission is still pending. This way we can secure you a place on the programme. If you do not receive admission from FH Kiel, you will automatically be removed from our registration list.
Of course! We offer the BaMaPLUS orientation programme entirely in virtual format, as many international students unfortunately do not receive their visa in time and will not be able to take part in the programme in person.
You will receive detailed information about the structure of the programme by email after your registration.
The intensive German course (How to get started in Germany) of the BaMaPLUS orientation programme has been designed so that all participants can take advantage of it. This course does not teach traditional German language courses according to the CEFR level system, but instead teaches a wide variety of everyday situations from life in Germany. Accordingly, you can even take part without any knowledge of German.
Good to know: there will be no placement test.
Participation is free of charge for you. However, it is necessary to register in good time. We have a limited capacity of 16 students.
Yes, in order to give you a good and successful start to your studies and student life in Kiel, attendance is compulsory.
In addition, due to the limited capacity, it is only fair if you take up the place.
