The study program Mobility and Infrastructure at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with the degree Master of Science (M.Sc.) provides a deepening and practice- and research-oriented qualification for the field of activity that is describe as 'traffic engineer'.

In the Master's program the qualifications obtained in the Bachelor's program are supplemented and deepened in one of the fields transportation planning, traffic engineering, highway and railroad engineering extending beyond the practical and scientific understanding of relationships. In reference to the different characteristics of the professional profile, one of the profiles listed below has to be selected for this deepening of the technical knowledge. In each of these profiles respective basic qualifications in the fields of highway and transportation engineering are obtained, which are supplemented by further specific technical knowledge in these fields as well as from civil engineering, industrial engineering, computer science, architecture (urban planning) and mechanical engineering (automotive engineering).

By their comprehensive understanding of the broadness and complexity of the task to assure mobility in a modern society, the graduates are competent to plan, to build and to operate road and railbound transportation systems. On the one hand, they can incorporate the societal backgrounds of mobility as considered in the empirical mobility research as well as the economic relationships between users and operators of transportation infrastructure for the tasks to solved. On the other hand, they can also develop and implement technical realizations of transportation infrastructure as well as communication and information technologies enabling and optimising the operation.

Having passed the Master's program at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the graduates attained the scientific qualification for gaining a doctorate. They are able to develop alternatives, to question existing methods and to work on their further development from the understanding of existing circumstances and rules under consideration of present developments and scientific discussions. Furthermore, they have the ability to communicate and to work together on the job efficiently with colleagues of different disciplines as well as to lead groups of experts of different disciplines.
