Special features regarding teaching

Tutorials for students in higher-level semesters for beginning students, support for learning groups, regular agreements with the departmental student organisation, StudiumPlus – combination of academic studies and training, international focus – many partnerships with universities throughout the world, specialisation/subject area selection during the main study stage, practically oriented training, Learning Centre for Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, link programmes, ‘Successful start’ programme, ‘Learning how to learn’ seminars, high level of practical relevance.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Approximately 25 % of Bachelor's students have contact abroad (specialised and/or practical study semester, final thesis); More than 60 partner universities around the world, in addition to the leading market of the USA also in the growth region of South-East Asia; various mobility programmes with financial support. High-quality double-degree programmes with France (ENSMM) and the USA (Cal Poly State University); Erasmus Mundus programme: EU4M Master's programme. International research cooperation with UMP Malaysia (including doctoral students). Numerous international third-party funds have been obtained for projects in which students are involved.

Special features regarding the equipment

To ensure outstanding teaching and research, numerous laboratories and facilities with modern equipment are available, such as: IMP – Manufacturing Engineering and Production department, Institute of Refrigeration, Air-Conditioning and Environmental Technology (IKKU), Bionics Laboratory, Robotics Laboratory, Institute for Energy-Efficient Mobility, Plastics Engineering Laboratory, Microcomputer Engineering Laboratory, Quality Management Laboratory, Sensor and Actuator Engineering Laboratory, Materials Testing Laboratory, clean room, Acoustics Laboratory, Institute for Mechatronic Systems, Digital Electronics Laboratory, etc.

Special features regarding research and development

Many of the laboratories are used for teaching AND research (e.g. Refrigeration Laboratory, wind tunnel, combined heat and power plants), laboratory equipment is therefore competitive and modern; Active involvement of students in research projects, especially in the Master's degree course (research assistant/part-time in multi-semester projects), increasing proportion of internal theses; Professors included in the BW CAR quality instrument , focus is applied research in cooperation with small and medium-sized companies, currently more than 30 doctorates in progress

Support for founders

The Center of Competence at the HsKA is the contact point for people interested in founding a company at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. Students and scientific staff are prepared for self-employment and young entrepreneurs are supported in all start-up phases.
