KUNSTGESCHICHTE

• Studienplan Bachelor Kunstgeschichte
• Studienplan Master Kunstgeschichte

This guide is intended to be an aid for the study of art history at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and to give hints for scientific work. In principle, the advice in this handout is also valuable and valid for architecture students. However, there are also some deviating regulations for term papers and especially for the scientific part of the master's thesis in the course of studies in architecture, e.g. concerning the freedom in the layout of the paper. A version of the handout that is precisely adapted to the needs of architecture students is therefore in preparation. As long as it is not yet available, please use this version, but please discuss with your supervisor which of the regulations are not binding for you or which additional regulations apply in the respective case.

For a good start of studies, the orientation phase with the mentoring program takes place for the new freshmen every year two weeks before the start of lectures of the winter semester. Information from the faculty, KIT, and the student councils, as well as a first-semester handbook complete the offer.

The orientation phase for the winter semester 2022/23 will take place in the week from 10 to 14.10.2022.

The O-Phase is an important introduction to the study program: It is organized by the Student Council of Architecture and Art History in cooperation with the Dean's Office and teachers of both programs and serves to inform about the upcoming semester, the university and the study program. The new students are introduced to the studios, the professorships and the most important procedures and places at the faculty. In addition, the studio selection in the architecture program and the seminar place allocation in the art history program take place. During the O-Phase, the first projects for an exhibition at the faculty are already being worked on. The recreational and evening program of the student council makes it easy to get in touch with other freshmen and students from higher semesters.

Start and schedule of the O-Phase 2022

The O-Phase 2022 is scheduled in attendance. You should be on site in Karlsruhe for the whole week.

The start is on Monday, 10.10.2022 at 10:00 a.m. in the foyer of the architecture building (Geb. 20.40).

Further information can then also be found on the website of the Fachschaft Architektur, the O-Phasen website of the Art History program, social media and here on the official website of the faculty.

All specified rooms are located in the architecture building
(Building 20.40, Englerstraße 7, 76131 Karlsruhe)

The mentoring program of the KIT Department of Architecture is integrated into the O-Phase with the aim of giving all first-year students a good start into their studies. Students of the 3rd and 5th semester, who have been prepared for this task with a training, accompany the new students during the O-phase and are also available afterwards as contact persons for all possible questions concerning the studies. This provides easy and direct access to information and assistance at the beginning of the studies and promotes the networking of the students of the department across semesters and courses.

If you are interested in participating in the program as a mentor in the 3rd or 5th semester, please note the annual announcement of the program in the middle/end of July. To apply, submit a brief motivational text to the departmental student bodies(fachschaft∂arch kit edu / fachschaft-kunstgeschichte∂web de). All art history students and applicants from the 2nd and 4th semester of architecture are eligible to apply.
