are not only lectures and practical workshops lead by various
specialists and professors from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT), but also the chance to take part in challenging “hands-on” metal
working.
In the Institute of Information Management in Engineering, you can
experience “Virtual machine construction” and in the Research Center,
you will have the opportunity to learn more about “Robots in the
Production Process”.
Furthermore, you will meet members of the student team KA-RaceIng
and work on a special construction task. A visit to the world famous
Daimler AG will complete our academic agenda.
Our program will start with a “Welcome Party” in the courtyard of the
International Department. This event gives you the unique opportunity
to experience international student life at the Carl Benz School of
Engineering.
A guided tour through Karlsruhe and the visit to the Palace Gardens will
be organized to familiarize you with the city and the German culture.
We have organized two other enjoyable excursions near Karlsruhe: the
visit to a big adventure park and a local swimming pool.
The Carl Benz School of Engineering is the Mechanical Engineering
College of one of the most prestigious technical universities in the
world, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The Carl Benz School is located in the German State of BadenWürttemberg, which boasts the highest research and development
expenditure in Europe, as well as the largest number of employment
opportunities in high-tech industrial sectors.
Carl Benz School invites students from all countries to join the college
to become leaders in engineering, development and production of
specialist goods.
Students can chose from three majors, i.e. Production Management,
Energy Engineering and Railway Technologies. Join us.
