Double degree programs are international degree programs that KIT has developed in close collaboration with selected partner universities abroad. As a student in a double degree program, you will complete part of your studies in Karlsruhe and part at the partner university abroad. Upon completion of the program, you will receive two degrees: a bachelor’s or master’s degree from KIT, and a degree from the partner university abroad.

Time Savings

A double degree program requires little or no more time than a regular degree program with a single degree—thanks to the coordinated curriculum and automatic credit recognition. You can complete a double degree program in significantly less time than two separate degree programs.

A Well-Organized Network

As a student in a double degree program, you’re not on your own—you’re part of a group of German and international students who share the same targets, challenges, and interests. The alumni associations provide practical help and first-hand advice.

And, of course, both at KIT and at the partner university, dedicated contact persons in the Departments and the business unit responsible for international affairs are always available to support you with academic and organizational matters. This naturally includes preparatory and ongoing language courses.

Double degree programs have a long tradition at KIT, so there are now a wide variety of options available. Most double degree programs are offered with France, but study abroad opportunities in other European countries, as well as in Asia and South America, are also available through double degree programs.

In the overview list below, you will find all of KIT’s double degree programs sorted by country. Each partnership includes a link to a program description. Here you can learn more about the course of study, the application process, funding options, and the contact information for your point of contact.

As a general rule, the respective KIT Department is responsible for academic supervision. For all double degree programs with France, both students and the KIT Departments are supported by the France Team in the implementation of the program. Under the “Double Degree Programs” section, you’ll find useful information, such as details on available scholarships.
