HsKA campus
The campus of HsKA is located in Karlsruhe. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Foreigners who come to HsKA through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
To stay in Germany after graduation for another 18 months, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without an offer from an employer. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
