Thriving student activities at KIT is driven by our SPE student chapter (https://spe-hochschulgruppe-kit.jimdosite.com/) focusing on energy and storage, and our Black Forest-Alpine SGA student chapter (https://bfa2sga.wordpress.com/) focusing on raw materials. Movies of our students are presented on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AGWKIT/) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8JVB3J1SOayreHo7xzUr9C97h1o226SM).
The ERS profile is closely linked to our KIT research in the Helmholtz programme for GeoEnergy and Storage, and the national think tank Industrial Resources Strategies (https://www.thinktank-irs.de/) on raw materials supply. Helmholtz's geothermal energy programme strives for internationally visible large scale infrastructures. The institute hosts the State's Research Unit on Geothermics evaluating wells and well logging tools. It offers world-class analytical facilities, such as geochemical and petrophysical laboratories, and IT infrastructure.
The two-year MSc profile, taught in English, includes courses, practicals and field trips. Various courses can be chosen from our comprehensive programme following your own interest.
KIT is among the oldest universities of technology, founded in 1825. The mid-size town of Karlsruhe is located in Germany's industrial and high-tech region, only one hour from the international hub in Frankfurt. It is one of the warmest and sunniest cities in Germany, making warm summer evenings in the historical park area around the castle an enjoyable student experience.
