The team of “Beratung Studiengangsentwicklung“ (en. Advisors for Development of Study Programs) supports KIT staff members regarding process optimization in program administration. We also guide and advise the KIT departments through the process of establishing and further developing their study programs, especially regarding the formal criteria outlined in the “Eckpunktepapier” (key points paper) and regulations imposed by KMK (Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs), the German Accreditation Council and the Studienakkreditierungsverordnung Baden Württemberg (state decree for accreditation). Our focus lies on seamless integration of all program-related documents (study and examinations regulations, module handbook, study plan and graduation documents) and on technical support for program administration. In addition to this, we advise and support KIT departments during the initial and repeated accreditation of their programs (KIT-PLUS), and during the fulfillment of conditions imposed by KIT-PLUS, including changes to the program. To offer you the best possible service, we work closely with the Business Units HAA (Higher Education Law and Academic Affairs), SLE-CPM (technical implementation of study programs in CAMPUS and POS), STS-QM (Quality Management, coordination of KIT-PLUS) and SCC-ISL (technical department).
