Karlshochschule International University – “the Karls” for short – is a state-recognized university of applied sciences privately sponsored by the state of Baden-Württemberg with study locations in Karlsruhe, Potsdam and Chemnitz. Since its foundation, the Karls has stood for an innovative, international and individual university education that empowers students for the future (Future Capabilities). Professional training, but also personal development and preparation for social challenges play a role here.
