  • Living

    You live right in Kiel city centre, in a room with your own bathroom.

  • Learning

    You have classes every day from 9 am to 5 pm – in a modern classroom on the same floor where you live. You practise hands-on skills in the skills lab.

  • Community

    You meet the others in the common rooms with TV and sofas. You cook in the large kitchens. At weekends, ifi regularly organises trips.
