More about Kamu
Welcome to the Kamu Student Handbook! Kamu is a constantly developing knowledge base for students where you can find instructions, services and bulletins common to all students.
The Kamu Student Handbook has been designed for mobile devices and its use does not require logging in. The information in the handbook is grouped into logical groups, but you do not need to know under which heading the information you need might hide: you can use the search function to conveniently find it.
The information is currently divided into the following groups:
- Instructions common to all students can be found in the Student Handbook.
- Kamu includes instructions for new students.
- The instructions of the faculties are collected on the page Faculty specific instructions.
- Detailed subject and education-specific instructions for students can be found in the Study communities, which you can access by logging in.
And this is not all – we are developing the service taking feedback into consideration
Your feedback is important to the development of Kamu. So, give feedback, comments and development ideas in the speech Hotjar-bubble found on every page in Kamu. If you wish to receive a reply, leave your contact information.
