Mechanical Engineering

The requirements for admission to the master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering are based on the current admission regulations: • bachelor's degreea successfully completed bachelor's degree in an engineering or natural sciences program at a university, university of applied sciences, university of cooperative education or at a foreign university. The degree must have been completed within a standard period of study of at least three years and with a minimum number of 180 ECTS credits. • minimum knowledge and minimum achievementsin order to be admitted to the master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering, you must provide evidence of certain minimum knowledge from your bachelor's degree. Specifically: fundamentals of engineering (in particular higher mathematics, engineering mechanics and thermodynamics): 37 CP • application-related fundamentals of engineering (in particular machine design, materials science and fluid mechanics): 26 CP • fundamentals of electrical engineering and information technology (in particular measurement and control engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics and computer science): 12 CP • internshipa professional internship of at least twelve weeks, which is recognized by the Internship Office of the KIT Department of Mechanical Engineering. An internship certificate must be submitted for this, stating both the duration of the internship and the content. If the internship is missing, admission can be granted on the condition that it is completed during the first three semesters, at the latest by the time the master's thesis is registered. Students who are unable to provide proof of the above-mentioned academic achievements can qualify for the program by taking an entrance test. It takes place in March for the summer semester and in September for the winter semester. Registration is possible online. Persons who have completed their university degree in a country that does not belong to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and is not a signatory to the Lisbon Convention must also have successfully completed a test, either the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE, Mechanical Engineering) or the Graduate Examination Test (GRE). The following scores must have been achieved in the GRE: • Verbal Reasoning: at least 151 points • Quantitative Reasoning: at least 164 points • Analytical Writing: at least 4 points
