Some lectures in English are offered as compulsory elective courses. Support for students in planning their semester abroad and recognition of courses taken by the faculty's Erasmus Coordinator. The range of courses taught in English is constantly being expanded

Special features regarding the equipment

Good technical equipment, free access to large-scale equipment for large-scale Helmholtz research, access to subject-specific licences

Special features regarding research activities

Our research is geared towards the requirements of a resource-efficient and increasingly data-based industrial society. With our research-based teaching, we qualify engineers for a sustainable economy. Our networking with innovative young and established companies, organisations and authorities ensures efficient knowledge and technology transfer.

Other special features

The CIW network of female engineers (CIW IN) was created in 2021 by the KIT Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering (CIW). The aim is to enable both professional and social exchange for women within the faculty, regardless of where they are in their academic career.
