We currently offer three study programs that can be studied entirely in English:

ERS Sustainable Energy-Resources-Storage (M.Sc.) - a profile of the MSc Applied Geosciences Master.

Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics (M.Sc.)

Water Science and Engineering (M.Sc.)

For more insight please follow the links and check the appropriate module handbook to find out which courses within the programs are designated as courses in English. Most courses also offer (elective) lectures in German.

At the moment we have the following double degrees:

Regional Science: German-Chilean double degree program [in German]

Geodesy and Geoinformatics: Double-Degree program at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Strasbourg (INSA) [in German]

Required language skills at the KIT-Department BGU are:

• a German language certificate on level B1 of the CEFR, if only courses in German language are to be attended or
• an English language certificate on level B2 of the CEFR, if only courses in English are to be attended, or
• both language certificates (a B1 CEFR level in German and a B2 CEFR level in English), if courses in both languages are to be attended.

More information on the general guidelines for language requirements are on the KIT International Students Office page on applying for a bachelor's programme.

In order to cope with your everyday life in Karlsruhe and at KIT, we strongly recommend all applicants to learn German. You can

• either attend a German course in your country before your arrival at KIT
• or take part in a pre-semester German course at KIT
• or attend a German course during your studies at KIT

Benefit from free language courses: Every student at KIT can attend one language course per semester free of charge. You can choose to learn or improve your German or learn another foreign language.

In general: To enroll in any Bachelor/Master program that is taught in German, you need proof of: DSH or TestDAF with a result of at least DSH-2 or TestDAF 4x4x4x4. For more information on the German language skills follow this link .

You do not need any German language knowledge (although, again, it is really helpful if you want to study in Germany) for a Bachelor/Master taught in English. However you will need a TOEFL test, or an IELTS (>6,5) or a UNIcert. Please check the requirements of the program you want to study for details.
