There are many advantages when living as a student in Kiel. One of the advantages is that you can use regional transportations for free after registering semester ticket.

If you are enrolled in one of the universities listed below, you can travel through Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg without buying additional tickets when you have a semester ticket.

  • Kiel: CAU, UAS(FH), Muthesius
  • Lübeck: University, UAS(TH), Academy of music(MHL)
  • Flensburg: Europa-Universität, UAS(Universität)

As an example, once you are registered as a student in Fachhochschule Kiel (FH-Kiel), you can get a student ID-card. The card will also be your ticket for public transportation in Kiel after validating the card by printing the new semester dates on the card. The printer is located in building 18.

Your student ID-card is not valid outside of Kiel. Also note that you are only allowed to use local trains (RE,RB) and not the long distance trains (EC,IC,ICE). You can ride buses in all cities (including S-Bahn and U-Bahn in Hamburg) except for the buses on the island Sylt.
