Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences

The University of Karlsruhe has about 8,100 students one of the largest Universities of Applied Sciences (formerly Fachhochschule ) in Baden- Württemberg.

The study

The courses of study include technical and engineering science, computer science and economics and construction-specific disciplines and lead to the degrees of Bachelor and Master. As the first professional degree can be the bachelor's degree after seven semesters acquire standard period of study, the master's degree after three semesters. These financial statements have been introduced at the University of Karlsruhe in the context of the Bologna reforms since 1999.

Part of the studies are laboratory exercises, practical semester and dissertations, which are usually made ​​in an external company. In several courses of research activities are integrated since 2000, increasingly, some courses are considered to be research-oriented.

Ranking Results

The quality of its teaching, the University of Karlsruhe attested in various national and renowned investigations, for example in the university ranking of Business Week and the CHE university ranking.

For the university ranking of Business Week 2013 personnel managers of German companies have been in collaboration with the consulting firm Universum Communications and the recruiter Access KellyOCG in surveyed all industries, from which universities they recruit their own leadership and young skilled workers, which universities so in their eyes, the students best prepare for the profession. The focus of this ranking is doing so intentionally the practical relevance of higher education.

500 HR managers, of which 70 percent have a group with more than 1,000 employees represent, participated in the current survey. The focus was on industry-related courses of study - business administration, economics and law, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, computer science and business computer science and natural sciences.

In electrical engineering, computer science, business and industrial engineering is the hiring manager 's view, the University of Karlsruhe in four of the six disciplines studied nationwide college that best prepare their graduates for professional life and career. In mechanical engineering, the University of Karlsruhe achieved nationwide the 5th Place. With four No. 1 and No. 5 in once central engineering, computer science and business disciplines, the University of Karlsruhe is Germany's by far the most successful college this ranking - and can confirm the results of previous years so.

CHE

With more than 300 universities studied in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands, the CHE university ranking is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking in the German-speaking countries, were interviewed for the more than 250,000 students to study conditions. Each year one third of the subjects are re-evaluated for the ranking.

The economy of computer science, which was evaluated in 2011 the last time, has made quite outstanding results: In practical terms and in the Professors' they are each represented in the top group. This corresponds according to the three winners of the second-best overall results among the colleges.

In civil engineering, the university in the ranking of 2013 is equal to twelve times represented in the top group, including in the overall study situation, the student services, the practical relevance and reputation in teaching and learning.

In mechanical engineering, it is represented in the 2013er ranking 14 times in the top group, among others, the supervision of students in their research funds and in reputation in teaching and learning, the practical relevance and the overall study situation and, therefore, shares with two other universities nationwide best placement among the colleges. The course vehicle technology is the International orientation in the top group.

The computer science degree offered by the University of Karlsruhe are in the ranking of 2012 in 13 categories in the top group, among others, the supervision of students, the reputation in teaching and learning, the practical relevance and the overall study situation and are thus among the colleges nationwide to the best.

International Contacts

The university has global contacts with about 100 partner universities in 30 countries, the centrally via the International Office (AAA) are maintained. About exchange semester abroad programs are possible.

Partnerships with foreign universities are also used for planning and conducting international research projects, and there are guest lecturers invited to give lectures. The master's degree Sensor Systems Technology is complete, the Master program Geomatics conducted mainly in English as a language of instruction. Together with partner universities in France and in Switzerland, the tri-national bachelor's and master's degree in Civil Engineering is also offered, which leads next to a German to a French and a Swiss university degree.

Double degrees in computer science courses, civil engineering, construction management and construction management, vehicle technology, geomatics, business computer science, International Management and Electrical Engineering can be purchased with partner universities in France, Great Britain, the USA, Switzerland, Spain and Canada.

The four-semester Erasmus Mundus Master Course Mechatronic and Micro- Mechatronic Systems ( EU4M ) started for the first time in the winter semester 2008/ 09 and will take place at three European universities in Spain, France and Germany. Students can deepen knowledge here in Mechatronics and Micro Mechatronics and learn the language and culture of other countries.

Applied Research

The University of Karlsruhe is in research, the third most powerful medium University of Applied Sciences in Baden- Württemberg. Here are application-oriented research and development projects at the center. The development of practice-based research is a strategic goal of the university.

The research activities of the university are bundled in two national research institutes - the Institute for Applied Research ( IAF) and founded in 2009, Institute of Materials and Processes (IMP ). In addition to these two central banks consist more decentralized research institutes such as the Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Environmental ( Ikku ), which was expanded in the meantime to a nationwide unique cold center.

Further education

The academic education at the University of Karlsruhe is in addition to teaching and research, a core task - it regulates the Higher Education Law of the State of Baden -Wuerttemberg. In many disciplines, the technological development progresses faster and faster. Just the job of the engineer is subject to rapid change. In practice, additional knowledge, for example in the areas of management, communication, or in the capital goods distribution and export business are urgently needed. Lifelong learning has become the rule.

This, the University of Karlsruhe offers a training program to exacting standards, to meet the new needs. Here, high school teachers devote the transfer of new knowledge into practice. The continuing education of the university is bundled in the coordinating body for the Continuing Education ( KWW ).

Cooperations

Within the Technology Region Karlsruhe cooperates with the University of KIT ( the merger of the University of Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe), here are a joint graduate program as well as the connection of the Library of University of Karlsruhe in the KIT Library call. Close contacts exist and the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation ( IOSB, formerly IITB ) in Karlsruhe.
