KIT's large English-taught EE master and the best-reviewed programme in our KIT set (4.3★ on StudyCheck) — a direct head-to-head with RWTH's electrical engineering offering, under a very different fee model. Note this is the English programme; the German-slugged pages refer to the same degree. Based at KIT Campus South (city centre), where most teaching is concentrated.

EU/EEA and exchange students pay only the semester contribution; a second degree costs €650/semester.

What students say

Via StudyCheck · 2024-2026: an aggregated rating, not our own assessment, paraphrased in our own words and never quoted.

4.4 /5

The best-reviewed programme in our KIT set (36 reviews as of July 2026), sitting comfortably above KIT's 4.0 university average. Course content, access to literature and organisation are rated highest; students describe well-grounded, practice-oriented material, competent lecturers, and strong digital platforms for exam preparation. Two honest caveats recur: the ongoing conversion of lectures from German into English is felt to hurt comprehensibility in some modules, and several buildings are visibly due for renovation. The student community and range of social events draw consistent praise.

  • Well-grounded, practice-oriented course content
  • Competent lecturers and good organisation
  • Strong digital platforms for exam preparation
  • Active student community and social events

Criticised

  • Lectures recently switched into English can be harder to follow
  • Some buildings visibly in need of renovation
