Doing a doctorate at KIT

A doctorate at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT ) is an excellent opportunity for graduates who wish to gain further academic qualifications and deepen their own research questions. The doctorate opens the way to an in-depth scientific examination of topics in vocational training, technology didactics and related educational and social sciences.

Doctoral students work independently on a research project and contribute to the further development of scientific knowledge. They are supervised and supported by professors and the scientific environment of the respective department.

A doctorate at KIT also offers the opportunity to be actively involved in research projects, support courses and gain valuable experience in academic teaching and research. At the same time, it opens up a wide range of career prospects - both within academia and in areas such as educational research, educational management, policy advice or in leading positions in educational institutions.
