What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002298) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Germany yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Irene Holm

Anyone who enjoys taking a quick dip in the Baltic Sea during their semester break should definitely study here. I also graduated from my home university here and can highly recommend it. I'd deduct one point for the food in the cafeteria, but you'll certainly get enough to eat. It's probably not much better at other universities.

Snape

Salafism and gender segregation at a German university? It's unbelievable what you hear. Putting women at the back? This university doesn't seem to care much for German values. Going on an Islam week is, in my opinion, quite malicious and shows me what seems to be going on in the minds of the people there.

?????? ????

Sales of a new processor-based crossover have begun in Russia, and I don't want to, I can't find the instructions for me. This isn't just about ordering from catalogs. It's worth adding a comment to this game. You can fight with the characters, and I don't want to, I can't find the instructions for me.

Nicole Heesch

Here at the Institute of Education, you can study business education, social work, and other modules in vocational education as well as nursing education, but differentiated according to media education, social education, etc. Here, the lecturers are really there for the students.

Nicole Holfert

I was in the obstetrics department for almost four weeks and can only report good things. The midwives and nurses put a lot of effort into my work and are very friendly. The doctors are also top-notch. Unfortunately, the staff shortage is noticeable here from time to time.

Ronny Ad

Christian Albrecht University of Kiel, is approximately 400 years old institution founded by Christian Albert (duke of Holstein and Gottorp and bishop of Lübeck) this is the biggest university in Schleswig Holstein region provide free high quality education to all.

Kathrin Kahya

I went to watch the water rescue/junior Red Cross/German Red Cross competition today. The atmosphere in the hall was great. You could easily watch the swimming from the stage, and the acoustics were excellent. There was a nice café at the front for refreshments.

Erwin Rohleder

The entrance is quite spacious, so if you're not familiar with the entrance, you'll have trouble registering. Then you wait until you're called by a number and shown which room you're in. Then you get information about where and how to proceed...

Danny Teige

Great atmosphere and a good café, with always nice and good events like lectures, readings, university balls, and much more. Great views, close to the city center, and excellent bus connections. It's always fun to work here and plan events. …

Lothar Guth

CAU Botanic Gardens shall be a must for any visitor to Kiel. It‘s a genuine place for tranquility and contemplation especially when wanting to have a huge diversity of flowers and plants with beautiful colors. Try the public Green House as …

Melone 01

I'm not studying there yet, but it's worse than I thought. Most people say that you have to manage everything by yourself with some help, like preliminary meetings. I think that's generally fine, but they mostly talk about irrelevant things …

The university is alright. However, the curriculum is very outdated, especially regarding teacher training. For example, in the business education program (for vocational school teachers), you're supposed to learn how to deal with children …

ScHu ViTT

The university in real life is really great, from the campus to the lecturers. The websites, on the other hand, are absolute horror. To be honest, the websites often don't work properly, you can't find anything, and every time I have to do …

Elli B

Horrible. The university itself is simply garbage – not at all student-friendly, with hardly any workspace, overpriced food, and no good places to relax, study with friends, or take a break. The library has been remodeled, and there are …

In my experience with the admissions process at the University of Kiel, particularly for the Master's program in Medical Life Sciences, the focus seems to prioritize political and historical knowledge over subject expertise. My niece, a …

I don’t know about the university but I would like to comment about admissions committee for masters in Medical life sciences program. The coordinator named Edna Hutten came to interview me. She asked me to give a brief introduction. …

Joris Rainer

I strongly advise everyone against studying law here! Exams aren't graded on time, and if you ask for clarification, the secretaries insult you. The website doesn't look like it's from 2001, and it works just as well. On the way to the …

L. Birkeland

My experiences here have been very mixed. It's certainly strange to have to dodge horse droppings on the way from the parking lot to the lecture hall, and to barely be able to concentrate on studying in the library because seagulls are …

Beatrix “Trixy”

Kiel University (Christian Albrechts University) is one of the oldest universities in Germany. Its location in the state capital is central. Kiel isn't exactly a huge city; we like to call it our "state capital village." It's a really …

Gerald Werlich

The University of Kiel is not recommended! Applications are incorrectly reviewed and evaluated, even though they were successful at other universities, and enrollment at other universities was completed smoothly and without problems! …

Kevin Ruser

Some buildings are in very poor condition (outbuildings are closed when wind speeds reach force 8). Public transport connections are good, but always overcrowded. There are not enough parking spaces for car commuters.

Nadine Remmert

The CAU is a beautiful university. So far, I've only had positive experiences here. I particularly like the library. Even as a non-student, you can come here, read, learn, and write. You just feel at home here!

Min Basnet

A good university in the north of Germany. Wonderful academic environment. May be one of the best for marine geosciences. I feel the faculties are limited, 4 stars only for that. Otherwise, I am happy.

Dirk Kiel

A place for students. I only drove through. But if you want to take your "final journey" there and leave your body to science after death, it's the place to go. I did it. Body donor... Think about it.

Dr Qaiser Ali Khan

Excellent place for Research , Study and extracurricular activities. Staff are helpful and cooperative. International students are welcomed in a decent way. Strongly Recommended for quality study.

V. G.

For 10 years, you weren't allowed to talk about problems of migration and integration because you were immediately labeled a right-wing radical. Now we have gender segregation in a university.

Paul Ritzert

I'm studying dentistry here. All the professors are very competent and friendly. The cafeteria is also excellent, but a bit expensive. (Still, you can always find something good for €2.)

Rajun Bhuyan

I am from Bangladesh , This is my favourite University ,I want to go to there but I have no enough idea about this process , How can I do and without IELTS ? please will give me a advise .

Ninia M.

Unfortunately, some buildings still have standards from before the turn of the millennium... The LS, for example, is mostly truly rancid, gray, and ugly. Not a great place to study. …

Michael Gröning

A wonderful garden with beautifully landscaped flowerbeds and themed areas. Excellent for introducing children to nature. Parking, access, and restrooms are all wheelchair accessible.

Fangyu Chou

I'm from Taiwan. I want to study here. I'm studying medicine and Chinese medicine in Taiwan. I practice acupuncture and herbal medicine in Taiwan. What can I study here? Thank you.

Philip “Redhocks” Segelitz

I would fire Ms. Fleischhacker immediately. Such unfriendly staff is unacceptable.
Completely unreflective, unsympathetic. Helpfulness is a foreign concept to this lady.

Michael

Salafism and gender segregation during "Islam Week" at Kiel University? Is this the new norm at the university? Can someone please comment on this? …

Benedict Mende

It's a shame. As a student, you often feel like a nuisance here.

Whether it's the disastrously expensive cafeterias, which are voted "Worst …

Abir Mukherjee

Very good university. Excellent ambience for study. The city is also peaceful. Cost of education is low but quality of education is quite high.

Andreas Lippe

I only delivered goods for the new building, but it's a very nice place that's easily accessible and well-organized. I really liked it.

S

Neither the Eduroam Wi-Fi nor mobile data works on this university campus, and has for weeks. This has little to do with excellence.

Mr. X

This "university" has caused serious and irreparable damage to both our students and to Germany's reputation in the world!

Julian K.

I've wanted to give a one-star rating for several semesters now, but most of the time the Wi-Fi is even too bad for that.

Pierre Mayer

The campus map can be found directly on the university website, and the course catalog by searching for Univis Kiel. …

Florence Ettichie

The largest university in Schleswig-Holstein. With modern facilities.
It also has a lot of international students.

Leon C

Bus connections and public transport between LS and CAP are sometimes a bit poor, but respectable as a university

Mathias Prado

They seriously want to become a university of excellence, but they can't manage to set up a proper eduroam???

So there's no equality there. Women are supposed to go to the back, hmm, what's become of the university?
