To promote study-related stays abroad, the KIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology maintains and coordinates many international cooperations. We maintain several structured exchange programs and many other important contacts to enable our students to study abroad. At the same time, we offer a variety of opportunities for international students who wish to obtain a degree or complete a guest study program with us.

Integrated exchange program between KIT and GUT

The exchange takes place in the last semester of the Bachelor's program at KIT. At the Gdansk University of Technology (GUT), a Bachelor's thesis is written under local supervision and courses with a total number of 13 to 18 ECTS must be attended in parallel. The Bachelor's thesis is written in English. The final presentation takes place at KIT. Upon return, all achievements are automatically recognized and a Bachelor of Science is awarded by KIT.

Bachelor thesis and courses:

All courses (lectures/seminars/labs) can be chosen that are offered in both the Bachelor's and Master's programs at GUT and do not overlap strongly in content with courses already completed (consult with the program representative)

The course language can be either English or Polish.


Documents and deadlines for an application:

  • Personal motivation
  • Above-average academic performance
  • Very good knowledge of English and/or Polish
  • Curriculum vitae (in tabular form)
  • Current transcript of records
  • Applicants for a mobility grant must also submit a complete Erasmus application


Application deadline for the summer semester is January 15 of the previous year
