CHE: Highly Satisfied Students at KIT

Students of Business Engineering at KIT Are Highly Satisfied with Their Studies Situation / Information Engineering and Management Is Ranked in Two Top Groups

Students of business engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are very satisfied with their studies situation. The subject of information engineering and management also is ranked in the top group in the categories”Support at the beginning of the studies” and “Teaching offers”. This is obvious from the current CHE University Ranking published today.    

 

The subject of business engineering at KIT is ranked in the top group for thirteen of twenty indicators of the CHE ranking. No other university in Germany has more top rankings in this subject. In particular, judgements of the students are excellent (11 of 13 possible top groups). The subject of information engineering and management at KIT, the only program in Germany that combines computer science with economics and law, is ranked in the top group in two categories (“Teaching offers” and “Support at the beginning of the studies”) and reaches eleven rankings in the upper-mid range. 

 

Every year, one third of the subjects is newly evaluated for the university ranking by the CHE (Center for University Development). In 2017, these are the subjects of business administration, law, social work, political economics, information and business management, business engineering, economic law, and economics. 

 

In the CHE Ranking of 2016, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology convinced in the area of electrical engineering and information technology. It reached the top groups for the criteria of overall studies situation, graduation within an appropriate period of time, and supervision by teachers. KIT also was in the top group in the category of overall studies situation in the subjects of mechanical engineering and chemical engineering / applied chemistry. In 2015, the subjects of mathematics, computer science / informatics, and sports sciences were given very good rankings. 

 

The fact that KIT prepares students excellently for the job is also reflected by the employability ranking issued by Quacquarelli Symonds, QS for short, last year. In this ranking, KIT was given good results for the indicators “Cooperation with employers” and “The employment rate of graduates” among others. According to QS, KIT was in the top group of German universities and in the top 20 on the international level. In the university ranking of the Wirtschaftswoche, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology was in the top group for all engineering subjects. In the areas of computer science, business engineering, and electrical engineering, human resources managers of medium-sized and large German companies ranked KIT in second place. In mechanical engineering, KIT was ranked in third place.
