General remarks

The removal of Tourism Management from our offered programs:

As of March 2019, it was confirmed by the Karlshochschule International University Presiding Committee to no longer offer Tourism as a specialization within our

Management programs. Exchange students studying and Hospitality management are still more than welcome to join us at Karlshochschule for their semester abroad. The university still offers several modules in related management fields, such as events and arts & entertainments. Please refer to our courses offered for more information or alternatively contact the International Office for more details. We are sorry for any inconvience caused.

General:

We recommended that incoming students join one of our regular student cohorts, e.g. International Business with an offered specialization. In addition, certains combinations of courses from different programs and semesters are possible.

Exchange and visiting students who can demonstrate proficiency in German may also choose from the first-year courses offered in German. In this case please contact the International Office for additional information.

There are also various languages offered at all levels. Please refer to the languages section to see what is on offer. Please note that languages and levels offered (CEFR) are subject to availability. Students are allowed to take up to two languages and are encouraged to take German.

Introductory / Advanced Company & Community Projects:

The company projects which take place every semester are a great opportunity to obtain some real and concrete work / consulting experience. The project briefs utilized within these projects are real scenarios and real companies. The projects are varied and can involve business or NGO’s in all strategic areas depending on the briefs. The last two weeks of this project towards the end of the semester are intensive project weeks, where you will work in an with your group members to establish a proposal / portfolio to present to the company / NGO representative. Participation in the group work for these intensive weeks is mandatory. Once this module is selected and you are placed in a group with our full-time students, your participation and engagement is relied upon by your group and the university (i.e. Attendance to the lectures and regular group meetings during the semester). Whilst we encourage this module as a great selection during your exchange semester, we also assume that upon choosing this module, you will not drop or change the module during the semester.

See the module description in the course catalogue for more information and/or contact the International Office for more information.

Master level courses

Our Master courses are open to graduate exchange students with the background and language proficiency required to succeed in class, provided there are still free spaces. To take courses in our Master program in Management, students need to fulfill the following prerequisites:

- completion of a Bachelor degree or equivalent status (e.g. in the Grande Ecole program),

- a background in business administration and specific subjects (especially for semester 2 and 3 modules) and

- English proficiency on the level of C1.

(3)

The Master programs starts once a year in March. In spring, exchange students who fulfill the prerequisites mentioned above can join the first-semester courses. In the fall, exchange students who fulfill the prerequisites mentioned above can join the 2nd- semester courses, provided they have the necessary background, i.e. modules equivalent to those taught during the first-semester. Most of the Master courses offered in the fall semester require a cultural sciences background. They rely strongly on the content covered in the first semester of our Master program.

We ask students interested in taking Master courses to send us transcript of records with all the courses they have taken so far, both on the Bachelor and the Master level, so that we can check if they fulfill the prerequisites.

It is also possible to mix Bachelor and Master courses, depending on the course schedule.

Disclaimer about COVID-19 and the next Academic Year 2021 / 2022

During the last academic year 2020 – 2021 the Karlshochschule had been offering a blended Online / Offline teaching basis in regulation with the German & Baden –

Württemberg COVID-19 regulations and restrictions. As of June 2021, we are planning on having face-to-face lectures next Fall Semester from September on. We are remaining optimistic that the situation will be resolved to a point where it is safe to do so. Because of this, we are looking forward to welcoming our exchange students in Karlsruhe for a physical exchange, a complete online exchange semester will not be offered. Of course, we are in constant contact with the respective state and local authorities in order to adhere to their latest regulations and will react accordingly if physical lectures would no longer be possible. The Karlshochschule International Office will regularly send updates to accepted students and its university partners as and when necessary.

It is important to emphasize that the Course Offerings for AY21-22 may be subject to change or availability based on current COVID regulations and the blended (offline vs online) approach being offered.
