About KIT
On October 01, 2009, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded by a merger of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and Universität Karlsruhe.
Description: KIT flagKIT bundles the missions of both precursory institutions: A university of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg with teaching and research tasks and a large-scale research institution of the Helmholtz Association conducting program-oriented provident research on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. Within these missions, KIT is operating along the three strategic fields of action of research, teaching, and innovation.
Visions
With KIT, an institution of excellent international research and teaching in natural sciences and engineering is being established.
- KIT will attract the best experts from all over the world.
- KIT will set standards in teaching and promotion of young scientists.
- KIT will become the leading European center of energy research.
- KIT will play a role in nanosciences that will be visible worldwide.
- KIT will be a leading innovation partner of industry.

PhD Programs
The KIT PhD programs offer the opportunity to acquire a doctor’s degree within a research program and a structured qualification concept. The PhD programs focus on the training of PhD students in seminal research topics and the support of their individual career development and scientific self-reliance. Furthermore, the programs assists early networking, internationalization and interdisciplinary cooperation of postgraduates.
KIT offers young scientists a variety of PhD programs: Graduate schools, Research training groups and PhD proups in several disciplines.
