Our student services should help students to simplify organizational tasks and to get acquainted with the living conditions in Kassel soon. The services comprise a service package, support from an accommodation office and a German language course.

We strongly recommend to book a service package being offered by the DIALOG institute as soon as the decision to attend the ECE program has been made. The DIALOG institute is located close to the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Among other things, the service package includes

 

• continuous support via e-mail in close collaboration with the ECE office for any inquiries, travel preparation, money transfer, issue of a visa etc.

• co-operation with accommodation agencies and arrangements for moving into a flat

• pickup from train station and welcome reception

• help in administrative procedures (health insurance, registration office, visa), applications, mobile radio contracts, opening of bank accounts etc.

• provision of information about insurances, public transport, shopping, health service, university, libraries, sport clubs etc.

• establishment of social contacts with other students

• help and support in case of individual problems.

 

The price of the (optional) service package is 300.- Euro.

Our accommodation office helps you with finding a room or a flat. Basically, the earlier you apply for a room, the more likely it is to get one and the cheaper it gets. The following fees include the rent for six months and are subject to the indicated conditions:

Fees	Conditions
1950.- Euro	Booking latest 31.12. for the summer term or 30.06. for the winter term, furnished room in Kassel including bed linen and cookware, accident insurance
2250.- Euro	Booking latest 31.01. for the summer term or 31.07. for the winter term, furnished room in Kassel including bed linen and cookware, accident insurance
2550.- Euro	Booking latest 28.02. for the summer term or 31.08. for the winter term, furnished room in Kassel including bed linen and cookware, accident insurance

If you apply later than 4 weeks before the start of the semester, no guarantee can be given for the provision of a room in Kassel. In case of unavailable rooms, the accommodation office will try to provide an accommodation in Witzenhausen which is outside Kassel, but can be reached by public transport. An accommodation in Witzenhausen is also an option for those who want to save money, since the fees for six months can be less than 1200.- Euro. Visit the web site of the accommodation office (Studentenwerk Kassel) to inquire about the definite fees at the different sites in Witzenhausen as well as about the conditions for renting a room there.

The German language is a key for getting familiar with your environment. Also, upon graduation, many students take up employment in Germany. So there are many reasons why a German language course is compulsory for students not speaking German. This course is held by the DIALOG institute mentioned above. Note that the course is free of charge.
