Applied Geosciences Master
Applied Geosciences Master program
We welcome you to our 2-year MSc program Applied Geosciences at KIT. Since the foundation of the Karlsruhe University in 1825, Applied Geosciences has continuously contributed to the further development of KIT in research and teaching. At Germany's oldest University of Technology, we focus on the sustainable use of georesources energy, groundwater, rawmaterials in the environment, following UN's Gobal Challenges.
Our applied study program, integrated in the engineering faculty of Construction-Geo-Environment, deals with the sustainable use of the environment, above and underground. In our English Master's program ERS you will acquire competences on Energy-RawMaterials-Storage according to your interests. For our other two profiles, the language of instruction is German.

You at KIT!
Whether renewable energies, water or raw materials for batteries and solar systems - are you interested in the sustainable use of resources? We at the KIT University of Excellence are one of the few applied institutes in Germany that hold top positions in international rankings. Here, you receive an excellent education and get to know your lecturers personally. At one of the largest engineering research institutions in Europe, we teach in small groups. Karlsruhe, one of the sunniest cities in southwestern Germany, offers you a high quality of life in one of the economically strongest regions of Europe. Together we develop sustainable solutions for global challenges!
Our Profiles in the Master Applied Geosciences @KIT
Our MSc program in Applied Geosciences has three different profiles: Energy, RawMaterials & Storage (ERS), Hydrogeology & Engineering Geology (HYDRO-ING) and Mineralogy & Geochemistry (MiG). The MSc program ERS can be studied completely in English.

Key qualifications
In addition to teaching technical qualifications, KIT attaches importance to interdisciplinary qualifications (key qualifications). These include, for example, languages, scientific work and writing, presentation, time management, or teamwork.
For Master's students starting their studies in winter semester 2016/17, the key qualifications that have been added up to that point are not required. In the future, these will be provided integratively (i.e. as part of the subject modules). However, it will still be possible to acquire additional benefits of max. 30 ETCS points. For further details see SPO 2016.
