Our JD/DD Partners

Based on our rich history of international collaboration, KIT has developed international degree programs, such as Joint Degree (JD) and Double Degree (DD) programs, in association with our partners. These programs offer both KIT and our partner institution students an opportunity to study in a different environment, obtain guidance from different perspectives, create a home away from home and build diverse human networks.
These programs also enhance the international compatibility of our research community through the active bi/multi- directional cooperation with each educational program.

Current Programs: (as of September 1, 2021)
