The Verein der Freunde der Hochschule Karlsruhe e.V. (Friends of HsKA) was founded in 1953.
In order to facilitate the contact between graduates and their former faculty or study program, a number of "Freundeskreise" (faculty-level friends' associations) were founded.
Associations related to a faculty or degree program
The "Freundeskreise" (friends' associations) are a meeting point for everybody who is interested in enriching a study program and help its students, to network and to discuss, and to keep teaching and research up-to-date.
Graduates, as well as representatives of companies and businesses, are invited to join one of the following Freundeskreise:
