Application for the Master Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

Thank you for your interest in the Master's degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at our KIT department! Admission to the program is not restricted. All applicants who meet the admission requirements will be offered a place on the program. From summer semester 2025, the course will be taught in English. Therefore, only English language skills need to be proven.

Admission requirements*
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology or related degree program
  • Required minimum knowledge in the following areas:
    • Higher mathematics
    • Fundamentals of electrical engineering
    • Digital technology, information technology and systems engineering
  • Aptitude for the program
  • Sufficient knowledge of English language.
    In addition to the language certificates listed in the KIT admission and enrollment regulations, alternative certificates may also be accepted in individual cases, in particular:
    • a degree certificate from an English-language degree program.
    • a university entrance qualification from institutions with English as the language of instruction.
    • a Bachelor's thesis written in English.
       

The admission requirements are checked in a first step on the basis of the uploaded documents. A transcript and a module handbook or similar containing the content and workload for each area (i.e. credit points/credits) are required to check the minimum knowledge.

Points are awarded to determine subject-specific aptitude. Applicants who meet the minimum knowledge requirements can earn additional points with an excellent grade. Depending on the number of points, either direct admission, rejection, or an invitation to an online application interview is issued, in which applicants can demonstrate their academic aptitude.

Interview dates will be allocated during the application process.
