Tim Plapp is studying Automotive Engineering at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences and has just successfully completed his bachelor's thesis. The dedicated working student is a mentor for students in their first semester and a member of our High Speed Karlsruhe racing car team. 

Tim, why did you decide to study this program?

Even before I decided to study, I was passionate about developing solutions to complex problems. Due to my great interest in F1 technology and alternative drive systems, I came across the Automotive Engineering program at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.

What did you particularly like about it?

I particularly liked the diverse range of lectures and the good mix between application and lectures. In addition, there is always enough space for studying with a study group. When it comes to projects or lectures, contact with the teaching staff is always direct and uncomplicated. Last but not least: the tabletop soccer.

Where were challenges for you?

I found it challenging to figure out how to make the learning process most effective for me.

What would you recommend to prospective students?

Definitely find a study group that is fun to study with. Also, I can recommend the professional tabletop soccer in the student's council. For a lunch culinary highlight it's best to visit La Rose or Kebabi.

If you had to describe studying in three words?

Educational, challenging, relevant
