Qualifikationsziele

Durch die forschungsorientierte und praxisbezogene Ausrichtung des sechs-semestrigen englisch-sprachigen Bachelor-Studiengangs Mechanical Engineering (International) am KIT werden die Absolventinnen und Absolventen des Studiengangs auf lebenslanges Lernen und einen internationalen Einsatz in typischen Berufsfeldern des Maschinenbaus in der Industrie, im Dienstleistungssektor und der öffentlichen Verwaltung vorbereitet.

Sie erwerben die notwendigen kommunikativen, organisatorischen, sozialen und interkulturellen Fähigkeiten für Karrieren in internationalen Unternehmen und Organisationen. Die Absolventinnen und Absolventen erwerben die wissenschaftlichen Qualifikationen für einen Masterstudiengang im Maschinenbau oder in verwandten Fachrichtungen.

Im grundlagenorientierten Teil des Studiums erlangen die Absolventinnen und Absolventen fundierte Kenntnisse in den Fächern Mathematik, Mechanik und Materialwissenschaften. Im anwendungsorientierten Teil erwerben sie Kenntnisse in den Fächern Konstruktion, Logistik und Management sowie Produktions- und Fertigungsplanung. Dies wird ergänzt durch Grundkenntnisse in Elektrotechnik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften. Im Bereich der Unternehmensführung werden internationale Standards der Rechnungslegung, für Unternehmensstrukturen und des internationalen Rechts besonders berücksichtigt.

Die fundierte Kenntnis wissenschaftlicher Theorien, Prinzipien und Methoden ermöglicht es den Absolventinnen und Absolventen, spezifische Aufgaben des Maschinenbaus erfolgreich mit einem eindeutigen Lösungsweg zu bearbeiten.

Durch Projektarbeit in internationalen Teams sind die Absolventinnen und Absolventen gut auf die technischen und praktischen Anforderungen des Ingenieurberufs in einer zunehmend globalisierten Wirtschaft vorbereitet. Ihre während des Studiums erworbenen interkulturellen Fähigkeiten ermöglichen es den Absolventinnen und Absolventen, in jeder Situation in einem internationalen Geschäftsumfeld verantwortungsvoll und angemessen zu handeln.

Durch die Kombination von theoretischen und praktischen Ansätzen in ihren Hauptfächern, Ergänzungsfächern und in ihrer Bachelorarbeit entwickeln die Absolventinnen und Absolventen interdisziplinäre Forschungs-, Problemlösungs- und Planungskompetenzen für technische Systeme. Dabei ist das Fächerangebot des Studiengangs an international angewendeten Standards ausgerichtet. Die Absolventinnen und Absolventen sind in der Lage, technische Systeme in ihrem Fachgebiet kompetent und umfassend zu beurteilen, Ergebnisse zu verallgemeinern und neue Lösungen zu generieren.

General questions

When do I contact the examination board?

The examination board of the respective study program is responsible for applications in special cases, such as deadline extensions or hardship applications.

Examinations

Can one and the same course have different credit points?

Yes. This depends on the respective module.
How can I register for exams?

You can register for exams online via the student portal External Link.

What do I have to take into account when withdrawing from exams due to illness?

Notification of illness or withdrawal from the examination must be made to the examining institute. A medical certificate must be submitted to the institute as soon as possible. If the deadline is exceeded, please contact the examination board.

Can examiners also conduct an oral examination in writing and vice versa?

Yes, an examination that is to be conducted in writing can also be conducted orally, and an examination that is to be conducted orally can also be conducted in writing, if the effort involved is unjustifiably high (cf. the respective SPO).

Main focus

Is it possible to change the focus combination if it has already been approved and registered for the examination in Student Services?

Yes, but already examined partial performances must be carried over into the new plan.

Additional services

What should I bear in mind when choosing additional subjects/services?

Additional services must be registered as such for examination in the Examination Office (campus ∂does-not-exist.mach kit edu). The additional achievements will be included in the Transcript of Records, but the grades will not be included in the calculation of the overall Bachelor grade.

Can additional credits earned in the Bachelor's program be recognized later in the Master's program?

Yes, if they correspond to the subjects of the curriculum. Recognitions must be made within one semester after enrollment.

Bachelor thesis

How is the bachelor's/master's thesis registered?

The Bachelor's/Master's thesis is created by the supervising institute in CAMPUS and registered there by the student.

Application/Admission

By when do I have to apply for the Master's program in Mechanical Engineering?

The application deadline for firstsemsester is  April 30

How do I apply for the Master's program?

As with the bachelor's program, the application is made online.

Can I apply for the Master's program if I still have to take exams in the Bachelor's program?

According to §3(3) of the admission statutes (Nov. 2017), provisional admission to the program may be granted under certain circumstances if it can be assumed that the bachelor's program will be successfully completed in time before the master's program begins. More information can be found here.

Should I re-register for the bachelor's program if I have applied for the master's program?

Yes, if the bachelor's program has not yet been completed.

I have reached 180 LP, but I am still enrolled in the Bachelor's program and have already received the admission notice for the Master' s program. What do I have to do?

Please follow the instructions in your admission letter.

Information on the allocation of study places

...can be found here.

BAföG

What do I have to do to obtain a certificate according to § 48 BAföG (Form 5) in the Bachelor's program in Mechanical Engineering?

Please contact the examination board in this regard. Please bring a detailed performance record ("alle Leistungen") with you.

Who do I have to contact for a certificate according to § 15 para. 3/3a BAföG (exceeding the maximum duration of support or assistance for graduation)?

The examination board is responsible for this. Please submit a detailed performance record ("alle Leistungen") as well as a schedule with all outstanding examinations.

Re-registration

Is late re- registration possible after the deadline?

For late re-registration, contact Student Services immediately. In any case, the semester fee must be transferred beforehand ("manually", i.e. without direct debit, stating the correct purpose).

Can I re-register for the Bachelor if I have already passed all exams?

As soon as you have reached 180 LP (excluding LP in the additional module), re-registration in the Bachelor's program for the next semester is no longer possible.

Duration of studies

What is the maximum duration of study in the Bachelor's degree program?

According to §8(3) of the Study and Examination Regulations of 2016, the examination entitlement in the Bachelor's degree program in Mechanical Engineering expires if the Bachelor's examination has not been taken in full by the end of the examination period of the ninth semester. Due to the Corona pandemic, the maximum duration of study may be extended (see link).
