International Office
The International Office (Akademisches Auslandsamt, AAA) at HsKA is responsible for the university’s international relations. We are the central point of contact for our overseas partners and the main service center for our international students and guest lecturers on campus.
We also give advice and support to our local students on their study abroad options and to our academic staff on their international activities.
By actively promoting new cooperative agreements with overseas institutions and additional international programs, the AAA plays a key role in setting the university’s international agenda.
Due to the corona situation, the IO team currently has no direct office hours but you can contact us by phone or email.

Senate Ombudsman for International Students
Strictly speaking, the Senate Ombudsman for International Students - currently this is Professor Leize - is not part of the International Office but is nominated by the Senate of Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences to help international students if experience trouble with any member of HsKA. For example, if you run into a conflict with a fellow student or professor, or if you feel that you are treated unfairly or differently from other students. He then will try to mediate the conflict. Experience tells this usually is successful.
Therefore please feel free to contact the Senate Ombudsman as early as possible. Of course he will work discreetly and protect your privacy if you wish so.
