Information and applications for the MIT study program (Bachelor & Master)

 

Requirements for starting the thesis:

MIT Bachelor:

  • Successfully completed module examinations amounting to 120 credit points

MIT Master:

  • Successfully completed module examinations amounting to at least 75 credit points
  • Start usually not before 3rd semester

Procedure:

  1. Find an institute where you would like to write your thesis and discuss the topic with them. For external thesis (companies/other faculties), a professor from the Faculty of ETIT must sign a confirmation of supervision (Application for external thesis)
    1. Students who would like to write their thesis at the Faculty for Informatics should complete the following application form: Admission of a thesis at the Faculty for Informatics
  2. The institute creates the thesis in the campus portal, you will receive an automated e-mail asking you to register for the thesis in the system.
  3. The examiner enters the assignment date and publishes the registration in the system; the thesis is now visible to you.
  4. The degree program service checks whether the requirements have been met. If all requirements are met, you will receive an e-mail that the thesis has been approved and you can start working on it.
  5. You prepare the thesis and give the presentation within the 3-month (optionally 6-month) processing period and the date of submission is entered in the campus portal.
  6. The examiner assesses the thesis, enters the grade in the campus portal and releases it. The degree program service will publish the grade and it will be visible to you in the system.

Please note: The examiner has 8 weeks to grade the thesis. If the thesis was your last examination, you can request a so-called 4.0 certificate from the examiner so that a "minimum pass" is recorded. You can use this to generate a certificate of title, which you can use for job applications.

You will find the application below.

  • Go to a study advisor and submit the application form together with the required documents (certificate, transcript of records).
  • "In lieu of credits" (credits that you would like to have recognized for a KIT module) must be recognized by the person responsible for the module; these can be found in the module handbook.
  • Important: Recognition must be applied for within the first semester after enrollment.
  • If there is equivalence with regard to the skills acquired, this will be confirmed by the subject examination.
  • Submit the completed and signed application form together with the relevant supporting documents to the study program service.
  • Note on examination achievements abroad: When recognizing examination achievements from a semester abroad, it is advisable to discuss the achievements to be recognized with the Student Advisory Service in advance.

 

Application for recognition of external examinations

You have the option of having an internship or apprenticeship that you have already completed recognized as a professional internship in your studies.

First contact the Internship Office of the KIT Department of ETIT for the technical examination: praktikantenamt∂etit.kit.edu 

Then send the application to the study program service: 

bachelor-info∂etit.kit.edu or master-info∂etit.kit.edu

This is only possible within the first semester after enrollment.

You can find the application  here.

If you finished your degree you have to deregister yourself properly at Studierendenservice (SLE).

Please fill out the formula “Application for Deregistration

Deregistration usually comes into effect at the end of the semester and can be requested immediately for special reasons (§62 Landeshochschulgesetz).

Special reasons can be for example: employment, registration at another university, …

Deregistration at the end of the semester you finished your degree has the advantage, that you still have the status as a student and the associated health insurance.

The date of your last examination is the date of your degree, not the date of your deregistration.

You will be deregistered “ex officio” if you not re-register yourself for the upcoming semester. But please notice that in this case you won’t get your certificate and you can’t register at another german university.

If you want or have to leave Karlsruhe before your deregistration date, you have the option to send a representative with a written power of attorney.

For proper deregistration you need a stamp and signature from:

Obtaining stamps and signatures is possible digitally.
