In the Master's programme, two specialisation subjects are chosen from a range of 17 subjects. Each specialisation has a scope of 16 LP and usually includes three, depending on the chosen combination also four modules, which can be combined according to interest. A detailed overview of all options is compiled in the specialisation catalogue:

Procedure for the specialisation subjects and directions
- Fill in the form "Studienplan Master" and send it by email to Mrs Gärtner (marion gaertner ∂does-not-exist.kit edu)
- After the approval of the study plan, the elections in the CAS system will be made by Mrs Gärtner, after that it is possible to register for the exam (this concerns the Technical Complementary Subjects and the Specialization Subjects).
- Arrange examination dates with the respective lecturers, secretariats.
As before, the person responsible for the VF decides whether there will be an overall oral examination of the module combination or individual oral examinations of the modules. In the case of the overall examination, a grade is awarded for each module. -
The study plan is submitted to the assessor before the examination, who checks whether the student is entitled to take the examination on the basis of the study plan. During the Corona pandemic, due to the non-contact examinations, there is no acknowledgement on the study plan.
