University of Kassel

+ Follow

The University of Kassel is a young, modern and vibrant university, characterized by its openness to new ideas in every single area of its work. Receptivity, initiative, transdisciplinary thinking and unconventionality are traits we cherish and welcome in studies, research and teaching, but also in knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial ventures, to which the university provides special support.

Services

Student services

The study enquiries ("Information Studium") is the contact point for students and prospective students who have general questions about studying at the University of Kassel. We can provide information on a variety of university-related issues and, if necessary, refer you to more specialised student support services.

Housing services

Cheap accommodation in Kassel is scarce. It can often take weeks to find accommodation, therefore it is advised to start looking as soon as possible.

Library services

Our library system is represented at the six locations of the university. Main location is the campus library on the Dutch Square (HoPla), which also houses the library administration.

Medical services

Citizens of the EU are covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), if they have insurance protection in their country of origin or counrty of current residence. EHIC is sufficient for a study period in Germany. In order to enrol as a student at the University of Kassel it is neccesary to have proof of German health insurance cover.
