Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Teaching objective: International orientation
Hands-on and work experience
You will conclude your studies with a written thesis prepared in a company. By doing so, you will gain an insight into your future working environment and will thus be on safe ground in your job.
Working worldwide
Being able to work as an engineer anywhere in the world opens up great personal and professional opportunities with countless development possibilities. That is why the Faculty attaches great importance to the international education of our students.
How about a double degree?
As a Master's student, you have the opportunity to obtain a double degree at renowned international universities. These include Ryerson University in Toronto (Canada) and the French Grand Ecole INSA (Institute National des Sciences Apliquées) Strasbourg. With a little extra effort, you can earn two internationally recognized academic degrees at the same time and be well prepared for a global working environment:

INSA (Strasbourg/France)
Cooperation partner of HKA: Institut National Des Sciences Apliquées (INSA) in Strasbourg
Start and duration:
The program starts each year in the winter semester, the master's program takes 4 semesters.
Course sequence:
Students complete two of the four semesters at INSA and two semesters at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. Since at least three theory semesters are required to be spent at INSA to receive the French degree, you must complete the fifth or the sixth semester of the Bachelor’s program at INSA Strasbourg.
Costs and Funding:
There are no tuition fees. The program is sponsored within the framework of the German-French University DFH-UFA.
Language of instruction:
Modules at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences are held in German, modules at INSA Strasbourg in French. The Master's thesis can be written in German, French, or English.
Qualifications awarded:
The Master's thesis is credited for both degrees. You can decide for yourself at which of the two universities you will write most of the Master's thesis. The evaluation, supervision and assessment of the Master's thesis is always carried out jointly by a professor from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences and a professor from INSA Strasbourg.
After successfully completing the program, students acquire the following degrees:
Master of Science Elektro- und Informationstechnik of Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences
Ingénieur en genié électrique des INSA
Ryerson University (Toronto/Canada)
Start and duration:
The program starts each year in the winter semester, the master's program takes 4 semesters.
Course sequence:
