Four New Interdisciplinary Degree Programs at KIT
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is further expanding its internationally oriented portfolio of programs, placing greater emphasis on English-taught and interdisciplinary programs: Three new English-taught Master’s programs will combine engineering, natural sciences and economics with modern data-driven methods from the winter semester 2026/2027. In addition, a new Bachelor’s and Master’s program focusing on sustainable resource management is launching.
Students at KIT benefit from an international learning environment, close links to research and a wide range of opportunities for developing their individual profiles. KIT graduates are highly regarded by employers, who particularly value the practical orientation, international outlook and the teaching of labor market-relevant competencies at KIT.
The English-taught Master’s program “Computational Modelling in Engineering” provides knowledge in mathematical and physical modeling as well as in modern numerical and data-driven methods for engineering applications. The program combines theory and practice in fields such as fluid and structural mechanics and materials science. Computational Modelling in Engineering is a joint program offered by the KIT Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical and Process Engineering.
Business administration, engineering, computer science and other disciplines are combined in the English-taught Master’s program “Industrial Engineering and Management”. In addition to compulsory modules in business administration and engineering, the program offers electives and the option to choose individual specialization, allowing for flexible profile development. Thanks to close industry links and numerous corporate partnerships, the program is characterized by a particularly practice-oriented and internationally focused education.
The English-taught Master’s program in “Computational and Data Sciences” combines mathematics, computer science and a freely chosen application discipline from the natural sciences, engineering or economics, and offers a high degree of flexibility and the opportunity to tailor one’s course selection to individual interests. Through practice-oriented research projects and international exchange programs, students acquire in-depth expertise in data-driven methods.
The interdisciplinary Bachelor’s and Master’s degree program “Environmental and Georesource Management” combines geosciences, engineering, economics and environmental law. It provides in-depth knowledge on the sustainable use and protection of resources such as raw materials, water and energy, as well as on topics such as the circular economy, climate change and natural hazards. Through flexible options and specializations, students can tailor their profile individually and focus, for example, on energy, raw materials or environmental management.
