Welcome
Climate change, medical progress, modern communication systems: For the challenges of the 21st century, we need experts in electrical engineering and information technology. For many years, the KIT department Electrical Engineering and Information Technology has held a top position in the German university landscape for the education of engineers in electrical engineering and information technology.
The Bachelor's program offers a broad basic education. The master's program builds on the knowledge acquired in the bachelor's program and deepens it in one of numerous specializations.
This breadth of the bachelor's education in combination with the specialization in the master's program provides the best possible qualification for attractive and future-oriented professional fields:
Renewable energies, electromobility, information and communication technology, automation and systems engineering, micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics and quantum technology, medical technology.
The unique connection between university and the large-scale research center at KIT allows students insights into current large-scale research projects.
In addition, the department offers attractive opportunities for doctoral studies for graduates interested in research following the master's program.
From January 27 to January 29, our department supported Hackdays. Thirty-five students from Humboldt High School worked in teams on their own project ideas, using our Mobile Maker Space. In addition to working with microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators, the focus was also on providing insights into research and study. Marwin Madsen (IRS) gave the participants an insight into current research and the department's degree programs. We are pleased to be able to offer Hackdays at five more schools in the 2025/2026 school year. We would like to thank our project partners, the Center for Media Learning at KIT, the Klaus Tschira Foundation, and the Schroff Foundation.
