Studienaufbau
Die ersten vier Semester vermitteln dir die Grundlagen in allen Bereichen der Elektro- und Informationstechnik sowie in Mathematik und Physik. Im 5. und 6. Semester kannst du in einer der Vertiefungsrichtungen und mit der Bachelorarbeit Schwerpunkte nach eigenen Interessen setzen.
Vertiefungsrichtungen:
- Elektrische Energiesysteme und Elektromobilität
- Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik
- Automatisierung, Robotik und Systems Engineering
- Mikroelektronik, Photonik und Quantentechnologien
- Materialien der Elektrotechnik
- Allgemeine Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik
Von Anfang an begegnen dir Praxisbezug und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in Form von Workshops, einer Projektarbeit sowie einem Industrie- oder Forschungspraktikum.
Qualification profile of the graduate
The Bachelor's degree program serves to impart scientific fundamentals and methodological competence in electrical engineering and information technology.
Studies are aimed at enabling students to successfully pass a Master's degree program and to apply the knowledge acquired in the respective professional field.
Mandatory subject modules convey the basics for studies of electrical engineering and information technology and form the theoretical background for advanced Master's degree programs.
The student can choose an area of specialization by selecting elective modules.
Berufsperspektiven
Mit dem Bachelor erwirbst du den ersten berufsqualifizierenden Abschluss. Wer nicht das erworbene Wissen im Masterstudium vertiefen möchte, kann direkt in den Beruf einsteigen. In der Industrie, bei Behörden, in IT-Unternehmen, Ingenieurbüros oder Bauunternehmen gibt es zahlreiche Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Anwendungsbereiche sind Energietechnik, Automatisierung, Medizintechnik, Mikro- und Nanoelektronik, Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, Fahrzeugtechnik, Kommunikationstechnik und vieles mehr. Die Tätigkeiten reichen von der Entwicklung und Optimierung von Produkten oder der Einrichtung und Wartung von Anlagen bis zu Vertrieb und Management. In der Elektro- und Informationstechnik übersteigt seit Jahren die Zahl der freien Stellen die der Arbeitssuchenden.

Admission requirements
German applicants and those with German-equivalent applicant status
Germans, EU nationals, and non-EU nationals with a German university entrance qualification are eligible to study at KIT if they have one of the following qualifications:
- General university entrance qualification (Abitur)
- (relevant) Fachgebundene Hochschulreife (subject-linked university entrance qualification, not Fachhochschulreife / university of applied sciences entrace qualification)
- Delta examination of the University of Mannheim (for holders of a Fachhochschulreife)
- a recognized diploma of advanced vocational training (e.g. technician, Meister diploma for craftsman) or an aptitude test for vocationally qualified persons
For additional possibilities, see §58 of the Landeshochschulgesetz (State Higher Education Act).
Furthermore, prerequisite for enrollment is the participation in a study orientation test (e.g. at www.was-studiere-ich.de) or a study orientation counseling, e.g. by the Zentrale Studienberatung (student advisory services) at KIT, according to §60 Landeshochschulgesetz (State Higher Education Act).
German citizens with foreign school-leaving qualifications must have the equivalence of their qualification with the German Abitur certified by the responsible Regierungspraesidium (regional authority).
Foreign nationals (non-EU)
In Germany, the school leaving certificate of institutions in certain countries is accepted as direct means to enter university. In order to start your bachelor's studies in Germany, a university entrange test and / or one completed year of education at an institute of higher education and / or the "Feststellungsprüfung" (test of aptitude of foreign applicants for studies at universities in Germany) needs to be demonstrated in addition in most cases. You can find country-specific regulations in the "Zulassungsdatenbank des DAAD" (database on adimission requirements of the German Academy Exchange Service) or in the Anabin database (database of the "Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen", only available in German). If you have further questions, please contact the International Students Office.
Knowledge of the German language for foreign nationals
In order to be accepted into a study program taught in German, foreign nationals need to demonstrate knowledge of the German language. For your application, you need to demonstrate knowledge of level B1. All such certificates are accepted, even a certificate of attendance of a B1 course. During the enrollment process, you need to submit a DSH2 certificate or an accepted equivalent thereof. If you have further questions, please contact the International Students Office.

Study preparation
Prepatory courses at KIT: The MINT-Kolleg offers prospective and first-year students support in natural science and technical subjects (STEM).
In addition, the KIT-Departments offer special preliminary courses before the start of the semester program during the "O-Phase" (orientation week).
Support during your start at KIT
The KIT offers support for all first-year students in order to have a successful start of their studies. Numerous orientation events and mentoring programs at the KIT-Departments help students to make friends, orientate themselves and find support where needed. The central online portalstudienstart.kit.edu is a first guide to all important offers, brings together all relevant information and contains helpful hints for a successful start of your studies:
- advisory centers
- mentoring programs
- info sessions
- workshops
- extensive online information
