Soziales

Hello everyone! We are Sascha and Linus from the Social Department. We study physics and electrical engineering respectively.

We currently offer the following services together with our social counselor:

Social Counseling

Here we or our social counselor will advise you on topics relating to student financing, financial difficulties, insurance, employment and social law, finding accommodation and all other things that complicate your life. We are also familiar with the emergency aid applications and are happy to help you fill them out. Of course, we don't have the perfect solution for every problem, but we are in close contact with other counseling and support services such as the Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe. We are usually a good first port of call. You can find more information about social counseling here: https://www.asta-kit.de/de/angebote/beratung/sozialberatung

Free tables

If you are in a particularly difficult financial situation, you can apply for a free table at the AStA social counseling service. This free table means €65/month for food in the canteen. You can find more information here: https://www.asta-kit.de/de/angebote/freitische

Emergency accommodation

At the beginning of each winter semester, we offer emergency accommodation for students who have not yet found a place to live.

We are also working in the background to improve the social situation of students in general. This includes topics such as student grants, the housing situation and the fight against tuition fees. Together with our colleagues from the Equal Opportunities and International Affairs departments, we deal with inclusion, studying with children, anti-discrimination and the representation and integration of international students.

In addition to social counseling, there is also a consultation hour of the Social Department. This is always on Tuesdays from 13:30 - 14:30 in the AStA. You are welcome to drop by with your questions, suggestions or ideas about social issues. Also, if you would like to get involved in the social area at the AStA, please feel free to drop by. Alternatively, you can also contact us by email at sozial@asta-kit.de
